KEYBOARDS | BACKING VOCALS

Kevin has played with multiple bands in various genres, amongst others, a Johannesburg Pop group, Pendulum, with many top 10 radio hits in South Africa. His stint with the Dixie Hillbillies in 2014 would turn him from his mostly rock roots and square into traditional country. After moving to the USA in 2016, and a brief stint with the Sterling Sylver Country Band, Kevin was offered a position with the Brent Payne Band as keyboardist and backing vocalist and got a 2 year contract with Disney in Anaheim, during which he met up with Chris Clifford and decided to leave the Brent Payne Band and join up with Chris as a Country Rock duo (North & South). His country keyboard chops are undeniably perfect for Toby Keith’s honky-tonk party vibes. American Made is proud to have Kevin.

Don’s ability to meld into many musical styles, has enabled him to share the stage with such notable players as, Jim Messina (Loggins and Messina), Scott Joss (Dwight Yoakam), and Larry Wilkins (Eric Burdon and The Animals).
