Kevin Artz
Drums
Orginally from S.E. Pennsylvania, Kevin has played in a variety of bands,
anything from hard rock to pop and even some country. He eventually hit
the road with a show band based out of Atlantic City. That band took him
through much of the U.S. playing anything from pop to swing. Kevin
eventually wound up in Boston doing an original band (rock) and playing
all the clubs that would have them. It was fun, but not very lucrative so
he hooked up with a band doing all dance covers (current pop, R&B, and
funk) and they hit the road and did the hotel circuit. After a good run
the band ended suddenly in Kansas City, after which he limped back to PA
to re-charge and look for work. His next project was another cover band
doing rock and playing S. Jersey, Delaware, and S.E. PA. A great band and
alot of fun through which he met his wife of 11 years. The last band he
was in also played S.E. PA and Delaware dong Motown, R&B, Funk and
anything that would get the people up and dancing. He truly enjoys playing
the 'in the pocket-more bounce to the ounce' groove that define Funk and
R&B dance tunes! He plays Pearl drums, Zildjian cymbals, Roland and Alesis
electronics, Shure and AKG drum mikes, and countryman vocal headset mike.
He loves to play and sing. Laying down the groove that gets people up and
dancing is the best. He loves to perform.
