Kevin (aka: Drummer)
Kevin knew he wanted to play drumset at a very young age. He received his first drumset and Led Zeppelin album at age 6 and began private study at age 10. He played in every school band while focusing most of his attention on rock and roll drumset. His influences included: Led Zeppelin, Rush, Genesis and The Rolling Stones.

Kevin left his hometown to play in several bands before going to college for music. He further developed his skills by taking on mallet percussion and intensively studying jazz drumset and music theory. From there, he fell in love with funk/soul music...not only listening to it, but playing it. His new influences were: James Brown, Maceo Parker, Grant Green, Tower of Power and The Meters.

He moved to Philadelphia with a mission to meet other musicians and develop a music network. Kevin began playing and recording with some of the best players Philly had to offer. He left that scene to join a Dave Matthews Tribute band which lasted a couple years. He needed a change of scene and luckily 39 Mariner was in need of a drummer.

Kevin not only found complete playing satisfaction in 39 Mariner, he also made new best friends. His new musical goals are to play music on stage and have fun at the same time. Mariner completes that goal.
