The Blues started quite a while ago.

You can't just sing the blues.
You can't just play the blues.
You gotta live the blues.

Kevin has performed at festivals, and in Italy and Spain. Bluestar brings blues favorites from Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Stevie Ray Vaughn, plus some jazz from Cannonball Adderly, Miles Davis, and the Crusaders.
