Kev Corbett is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter, and side musician (drums/bass/guitar). Born in 1973 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, he grew up in Amherst, NS following the divorce of his parents; attended Mount Allison University (B.Mus '95) as both percussionist and bassist, and subsequently returned to Halifax where he continues to live and work.

Corbett's experiences as the son of a former priest and subsequent rural life strongly influenced his 2005 debut, Clumsy (Zunior, 2005), which featured songs such as "Me & Billy & the Story of the Whale", "Honourable Mention", and "Growin' Down." Other musical themes include regret and redemption, and traditional folk themes of love and loss.

His song "With the Grace of God", written on the death of Canadian folk singer John Allan Cameron, saw him invited to the 2007 Telluride Bluegrass Festival for their Telluride Troubadour contest, and was subsequently released in an exclusively digital download collection called "Not Available in Stores!" This was the first example of an artist submitting a digital keycard, as opposed to a CD or other medium containing the music, to the Canadian National Library and Archives as proof of recorded work.

Corbett's second CD, 'Son of a Rudderless Boat' was recorded at Spaces Between recording studio in Halifax NS during the Spring of 2009, and had its soft launch on the mainstage at the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival. Following the CD's official release on January 16, 2010 at Halifax songwriter venue The Company House, Corbett toured Canada extensively.

Corbett currently lives in Halifax, NS with his wife Stephanie Domet.
