Kevin Wood
Kevin Wood is a singer/songwriter, actor and performer. His music is known to have the sounds of such influential artists as Billy Joel and Elton John with a taste of contemporary country's Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban. Always accompanying himself on piano, his songwriting has been described as "emotionally profound and musically potent," and in 2000 this hallmark style of Kevin's was recognized nationally when he received honorable mention in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for his song, Drive. "What we really need right now is a road trip...," says Kevin with a genuine smile, and his words come from personal experience.

In May, 2011, Kevin finished up his contract with Holland America's ms Westerdam, where he entertained thousands of traveling vacationers as the lead singer in the various shows on the ship. Before the Westerdam, Kevin traveled with the national tour of RENT where he was cast as a Swing, and he played his dream roles of Roger and Mark, along with four other roles. Kevin attended Berklee College of Music in Boston where he dazzled audiences in numerous showcases, received awards from both the vocal and songwriting departments, and by his graduation in 2001, had performed as a lead vocalist in an honorary concert for the present Walter Becker and Donald Fagen of Steely Dan. A small-town Wyoming native, Kevin has ventured far from his home and become a seasoned songwriter and a confident, natural performer.

Kevin is currently in the studio recording his third full-length album "Out Among The Wolves" with his producer and engineer, Alicia Champion at Durga Sound Studios. His previous two albums "Finding Me" (2006) and "Haven't Had Enough" (2002) are a testament to Kevin's unfailing commitment to his love of songwriting and performing.
