Bio
Acknowledged as one of the country's top Kalimba player's, Spears' began studying this exotic instrument at the tender age of 11 years old. Through blood, sweat and frustration, the Kalimba slowly became an extension of this man who was obviously destined to touch others through his life and music. The end result is that Kevin Spears has unknowingly redefined what is humanly possible on this seemingly simple instrument.
His musical influences include: Kirk Whalum, Earth Wind and Fire, Jimi Hendrix, Bob James, Marcus Miller, Paco De Lucia, Chick Corea, George Benson and Michael Jordan.
As a professional musician, "KalimbaMan" not only designs and creates his own instruments, he consistently leaves his audiences spellbound by his soulful and passionate musical delivery coupled with incredible virtuosity.
Spears' has performed with and/or opened up for artists such as: Victor Wooten, J.D. Blair (of Shania Twain), Legendary Col. Bruce Hampton, Eric Benet, Yonrico Scott (Derek Trucks, Earl Klugh, Chaka Khan), Jeff Moser, Bill Summers (of Herbie Hancock fame) and two-time Grammy winner group Arrested Development to name a few.
Seeing this unique artist take one instrument and create the sound of a 5-piece band live on stage reminds you of what it is to be one with your destiny. Witness the Artistry of Kevin KalimbaMan Spears.
