Artist description Armed with an acoustic guitar, a dusty old banjo, and a pawnshop mandolin, I write and play for the love of music and good old fashioned fun. I play bluegrass and country for pleasure and blues for therapy. If my ramblings give a few folks some pleasure, then that's enough for me. My little songs are dark at times and light hearted at others, but it's all done with love, on the fly, warts and all...

Music Style Acoustic eclectic country folk blues man.

Musical Influences Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett, Norman Blake, Lightnin' Hopkins, Steve Earle, Hank Williams, Neil Young, Uncle Tupelo.

Similar Artists An acoustic cross between Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett, and maybe a bit of Farrar/Tweedy thrown in.

Artist History My Dad is a bluegrass lover, and, as with anyone who's had serious exposure to the high lonesome sound, that music is in my blood. About a dozen years ago I started playing guitar semi-seriously, began writing around the same time, and the rest is history. My songs range from straightforward blues to lonesome ballads to honky tonk stompers to contemporary country twang, and those old-time themes of longing, loving, and losing echo throughout.

Group Members All songs written, arranged, performed, and produced by Kevin Larry Anderson.

Instruments Martin guitars, and the occasional oldtime banjo and pawnshop mandolin have been known to creep into some of my offerings.
