Kevin's life-long love of music has never waned, he continues to write and takes the opportunity to share his passion by performing ever chance he gets. Kevin's life-long passion for all things Buddy Holly, inspired him to petition and secure the Buddy Holly Hollywood Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He personal arranged to have the Star on Vine street next to the members of The Beatles, who have always acknowledged they were so inspired by Buddy and his music.
