KEVIN NEIDIG

Rarely do you get in one musician the virtuosity of singer, instrumentalist
and songwriter.  Kevin brings all three with eloquent effortlessness:

Playing

The unexpected complexity, combined with graceful agility, are what grab
you by the throat, compelling you to listen into the wee hours.  Kevin
possesses an otherworldly ear and literal sleight of hand.  Watching his
nimble fingers execute a fretboard is like bearing witness to a spider
weaving geometry into form.  He manages to project a kind of tenderness
clad in power, by turns exuding mystery, exuberance and wit.

Singing

From first note, you notice honed, flexible vocals, at once at ease with
old-as-the-hills bluegrass as the latest pop number on the radio.  There's
authenticity underlying all the flow, and a comfort level with an
impressive range - high and soulful to deep and baleful.  Clear and
powerfully emotive, Kevin's voice commands you to listen time and again as
you marvel at how your soul is stirred with each play.

Songwriting

Kevin's approach never fails to present a different perspective - lyrically
and musically.  With his use of intricate timing, ingenuity with keys and
tempos, and a dizzying contortion of chords, it's easy to understand why
other musicians clamor to play his compositions for the thrill and sheer
workout of it.  He delivers impeccably crafted, hand-hewn tunes - a
perfect turn of word here, transforming melodies there - lush, tuneful
journeys not to be missed.
