Thought: Why do I play music?

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.

Gig Announcement: Positively 4th Street in Troy, N.Y. May 31st

I finally got a gig confirmation. I’ve been offered to play a gig at Positively 4th Street or better known as “P4th” in Troy, N.Y. on May 31st @ 9 p.m.. I’ll be opening for the bands The Rob Skane 3 and No Call No Show.

More details to follow in the future, I need to know how much this gig is going to cost and the age limit will come soon, then I will make a flyer to promote it with.

P4th is a new venue I never played at before although I visited the venue in person once. It’s a cool place and the owners are cool people.

While there’s not many venues to play at in the Capital District anymore, P4th do all they can to keep the local music scene alive so I respect them for that.

For this blog I plan on putting up a gig calendar to embed here so I can promote my future gigs, I’m still looking for the mp3 widget jukebox player to embed here so you can listen to my songs while you read the blog too, I’ve been looking into all that stuff all week. Those stuff are coming for the blog soon. I want my blog to be my “Official” music website from this point on.
