Kevin Koplar

Kevin Koplar grew up in the land of Chuck Berry. He picked up the guitar at an early age, and played along to both Keith Richards and Jimmy Page, eventually tracing the roots back to the pioneers such as Mississippi John Hurt and Son House. Mimicking the onstage gimmicks of Mick Jagger and Iggy Pop, Kevin weirded out most of his classmates. Their distaste was only temporary though, due to the fact that Kevin Koplar had the only rock n' roll band, Satisfaction, in his rather conservative high school. In college, Kevin began playing solo gigs around Indiana University, channeling diverse influences such as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jeff Tweedy, and Jack White. He spent a summer in New York City playing gigs around Manhattan such as at the historic Bitter End. Kevin now lives in Nashville Tennessee, performing both by himself and with band accompaniment, working to reform the spirit of the blues in a modern new style.
