Kevin Koutnik - $6

Friday, June 3, 2011

Throughout Kevin\'s musical career, his sound has evolved from rhythmic melodies describing the epitome of his teenage angst to songs that reflect Kevin-s transition into alternative country anthems that are identifiable to the common man. In his early years, Kevin found music to be accessible through the punk rock scene. As years passed, his musical preferences branched out to everything from heavy metal to techno, eventually landing in on singer-songwriter methodologies. Kevin\'s latest music expresses relatable everyday experiences in a warm and classic form. He has found that this musical styling has the best connectivity with his fans because it allows him to be open and honest with himself as well as his audience.

Many individuals, settings and circumstances have influenced Kevin\'s music, but three artists have immensely impacted his writings; Bob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy and Johnny Cash. From Dylan and Tweedy\'s way with lyrics, to Cash\'s ability to take a song and connect with the average person, Kevin strives to better his music in hopes of one day being compared to these greats.
