    Artist description
    Start with funky, blistering hard rock; add some classical theory for texture; mix in a bit of jazz, a dash of acoustic, and a touch of metal for flavor; then top off with alternative sprinkles and a timeless sauce of melodic sensibilities to delight the senses and voila! Wok and Roll.
    Music Style
    Well-crafted songs involving almost every genre in an intense rock atmosphere which lends itself to timeless renditions of heartfelt compositions; whatever! We Just Rock...
    Musical Influences
    Led Zep, Jeff Beck, Thin Lizzy, Pat Travers, Hendrix, Page, Angus, Yes, Rush, UFO, Steven Tyler /Neil Peart (lyrics), and so on...
    Similar Artists
    A little bit of everyone; maybe Collective Soul stylistically, Zep in diversity, a bit of Lenny Kravitz in the grooves; it's really hard to categorize me.
    Artist History
    Forever Kid is the vehicle which showcases the lyrics and music of Kevin Webster, whether solo or with some of his excellent musician friends helping out in the studio. His first guitar was a piece of wood tied to cardboard cut-out of a Strat and he was writing lyrics long before he could play. Primarily self-taught, he began studying guitar at age 16. In college, he changed majors from Engineering to Music and was accepted into the classical program at Penn State with no formal training. 2 years later he graduated and began to play the drunken, college bar circuit for the next several years until moving to LA in 1990. In and out of various bands for 5 years he finally formed his own called "Typical", with stellar musicians who have gone on to write for the LA Philharmonic, or do notable session work, or tour with amazing performers like Rod Stewart or Tony MacAlpine. Throughout the rollercoaster ride he has remained true to his craft, shunning trends and mediocrity. He has always tried to write songs that would stand the test of time like the Beatles or Led Zeppelin. Hook-laden music weaves throughout the angst and hopefully takes you to a timeless place where the song was more important than the production. He currently plays guitar for other artists while he tries to have his songs placed in film/TV or with other artists. Most recently before moving to the DC area he did some session work for Dr. Dre replacing his former guitarist.
