(2002) In addition to the new endeavor with Buffalo Rome, Kevin is working A-list studio vocalist.

Q & A

What's the best word of advice you have been given (about the business) from another peer that stuck with you?
"Don’t follow the trends. Do what it is you do best.”

What's your best word of advice to share with a new up'n coming artist?
“Don’t try to please everyone, find what you do best and be the best you can be at it.”

What do you personally bring to the group as a musician, songwriter, etc. that compliments, strengthens or rounds-out the sound of Buffalo Rome?
Great melodies, a mellow vibe and smooth velvet tones.

From your personal perspective, what do the other members bring to the group as individuals?
Aside from his strong musical ability, Mike is the left-brain of the band. He’s the “band mom” who helps us to focus. We’d still be playing in the garage if it were not for Mike. Bill is the sturdy, quiet, silent type. He’s consistent; a rock on stage, he’s nearly perfect! Both of them show up when it matters most.

Why the name “Buffalo Rome?”
It’s rugged, wild and a symbol of freedom. Besides, the “Eagles” was already taken!

Before even opening the new Buffalo Rome CD, describe what the listener can expect to hear?
It’s the California Country Rock scene of the 70s!

If the group had a slogan or motto, what would it be?
“We’re wide open, big sky music!”
