Revin' Kevin
"Harmonica" Revin' Kevin Keith
 Kevin is a young man at heart and has been working hard at emulating
the sounds of the master harmonica players such as Little Walter,
Big Walter Horton, George Harmonica Smith, Sonny Boy Williamson,
Jimmy Reed, Kim Wilson, Rod Piazza, Mark Hummel, Gary Primich, Rick Estrin,
Dennis Gruenling and Sugar Ray Norcia who is one of Kevin's biggest influences.

  Kevin’s obsession began around the age of 15 when he saw Magic Dick with the J. Geils Band at Holy Cross College.
"Magic Dick was bopping around the stage, jumping up onto the speakers, sporting a leather vest and sunglasses
with his afro hair bouncing. I thought it was just so cool. I said to myself that this is what I want to do.
I could picture myself doing that and I was off and running."

Kevin has kept that vision and a harmonica with him ever since.

If you ever get a chance to see Kevin perform you will clearly see that he has a
passion for the blues and loves what he is doing. His impeccable phrasing and tasty licks
along with a gigantic tone make his sound fill the room regardless of whether he is
playing a low down slow tune or an up-tempo swing or shuffle.
A powerful harmonica player and a strong singer, Kevin is a force to be reckoned with.

Revin’ Kevin can be seen and heard at all the local jams in the Central Massachusetts area
and he can often be seen playing with other bands that his friends are in, such as the Progressions.

Kevin is currently playing in a "Harmonica and Guitar Revue" duo
with guitarist-songwriter-singer, "Guitar" Chahlee.
