From your local to the big events,
Kevin has carved out a revered reputation in the Australian Music
Industry, performing his music with a youthful exuberance - giving extra
meaning to the word LONGEVITY.
Kevin has played and recorded with
artists such as Renee’ Geyer `Blues License’ - Dutch Tilders `The Blues
Had a Baby ‘- Richard Clapton `Prushan Blue’, Joe Walsh and The Party
Boys, of which Kevin was a founding member.
Jammed with Carlos Santana on two of
his tours, also with Bo Didley, Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple), Ron Wood
(Rolling Stones), John Mayall, Taj Mahal, Living Colour. Overseas tours
and tours with Jimmy Barnes, Renee’ Geyer and Mark Hunter, have added
spice to his career.
Kevin starred in the hugely successful
18 ‘Sold Out’ Australia wide ‘Long Way To The Top’ 2002 arena concerts.
2003 and Kevin, alongside Tony Joe White, John Mayall and Ray Charles
(in that order) performed the Melbourne International Music & Blues
Festival. In recognition of Kevin’s contribution to Australian music and
blues culture he was inducted into the Australian Blues Foundation Hall
of Fame. 2004 and more gigs, more touring, more festivals and a new CD -
Nomad.
Kevin includes a 1930’s National Steel
acoustic guitar in his show. This “laid-back” acoustic style is a very
well received addition to Kevin’s performance on a selection of electric
guitars, including his Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Firebird slide
guitar.
Due to popular demand, Kevin has
independently produced and released his CDs.
`Live at the Big Kahuna’ - a blues-based double live CD which shows
Kevin’s versatile guitar style.
’Heart Starter’ - strong powerful and
sensitive playing from guys who have tons of cred, Harry Brus (bass) and
John Annas (drums) and on 2 tracks Kevin's son Lucius Borich (drums).
'Nomad' - a mighty experience of the combined musical talents of KB,
Lucius Borich (drums and bass) and Mark Kennedy (drums and percussion)
and Harry Brus (bass).
