Some of you may wonder what made me do this. What made me become a musician and songwriter to do what I do. Do I do this to try and become popular and get as many fans as possible? That would be nice, but to honest, I don’t care about popularity. Never had. If people want to become a loyal fan/follower of Kev Brock, that’s great, I’m all for that. If people want to think that I suck musically and think I’m one of the worst musicians that you ever heard, that’s great, I’m all for that too.
I am in it simply for the love and enjoyment of music. To be part of the musicians scene and to be sharing the music to the world. Although I do love performing live in front of an audience, I don’t really like performing too many shows. I am about sharing my original work to people. The songs that I write, I enjoy the feeling of getting honest feedback from people and it lets me know that people really do listen to my stuff.
I don’t believe in making profesionally made music albums, real albums like you see in the stores, I just feel that is not my thing. No offense to local musicians out there that do make real albums. If people want copies of my songs, I wouldn’t spend so much on CD manufacturing, I’ll just simply burn my songs on a blank CD for them. Who needs a real CD with cover art and lyrics in the booklet when all you need is blank discs you get from Kmart or Radioshack to make a demo album? I’m in it to get my tunes heard like everyone else.
To have fun playing and have fun performing. I’m not in it for the rock star thing. I’m not a self inflated ego being obsessed with popularity, if popularity is what you want, that’s fine. I just want to be part of music and enjoying it.
And a reminder, I have a show at P4th this weekend on Sat. May 31st, opening for No call No Show, and some other band. The show starts at 9:00 p.m. I’ll be there for my set for sure. So hopefully some of you will too. I believe the show is free to get in. A road trip to a Kev Brock show is worth it, trust me.
