Bio:
"It's been an amazing journey so far", says Kev Rowe of his past 10 years as a touring musician. Between doing over 1000 gigs either by himself as a solo musician or with his previous americana band, Big Leg Emma, he has certainly met a lot of interesting and amazing people. Recently he opened for songwriting legends America and was asked to play the encore "Horse with No Name" to a sold-out audience at the legendary Birchmere Music Hall in Alexandria, VA. He also made his debut at the #1 songwriting venue in NYC, The Living Room, and also at the legendary spot, The Bitter End. Over the years he's shared the stage with an incredible list of musicians (see below).

Currently, Kev Rowe is releasing his third cd entitled "hi love" which was recorded at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, NC with producer Danny Kadar (The Avett Brothers, Trey Anastasio of Phish, and My Morning Jacket). "Making "hi love" was an amazing two year journey of recording for me. Every couple of weeks I'd go up to Asheville, record a few tunes with some unbelievable musicians and then come home. The songs on "hi love" are straight from the heart and describe the things closest to me", says Rowe. His previous cds "Into the Gold" and "Brown Book" have both won numerous awards in national songwriting contests (see below).

Originally from Jamestown, NY, home to a very fertile and loyal roots music scene, Kev now lives in Charleston, SC with his wife Kris and their two dogs (lucy and reba). And when he's not recording or writing, he's on the road spreading the love with his personal tunes.
