Hi! I am Kevin Christopher and I have traveled a long way to be here with you today. In the Spring of 2022 my family packed up our pared down household in Courtenay, BC, on Vancouver Island, and hopped in our van and tent trailer for an adventure we will never forget.

Here's a photo of the rest of my family on our epic road trip. We had finally got through the Northiest part of Northern Ontario and enjoyed an afternoon in Sault Ste. Marie.
There were lots of reasons for us to come to the Maritimes, but one of the important reasons is that I feel I have something to contribute to the Canadian music scene. I've been performing live since I was 17 in Victoria BC but as time has gone on my music career moved more towards background - into "weekend warrior" territory, and my retail career and family life were pushed to the forefront. Now I have a chance to work as a musician in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I'm looking for gigs where I can entertain with my vast repetoire of classic cover material, and occasionally offer an original song to the world.

The songs I play at my shows are designed to get your attention. I like to say I play all of your favourite songs, and nothing makes me happier than when I see someone singing along to every word. Except that it means I better not forget the lyrics! My favourite genres are country, folk, and acoustic rock. I love to pull out an old gem from when I grew up (the 90s) and see how people respond. Lately I've noticed even the youngest people are responding to the music I loved growing up. Probably because their parents are my age.
I can play anywhere nearby, or even far away if the situation is right. But for now I'm targeting the Moncton area, Sackville, Amherst, and the Cumberland region of Nova Scotia. I am also not far from PEI. I can't wait to spread my wings and get playing in the Maritimes. Please contact me if you'd like to hear more about my show or if you have an event you'd like me to play.
