A native of Mechanicsburg, PA, Kevin Neidig is an award winning Americana singer/songwriter/composer multi-instrumentalist whose sound mixes elements of Darrell Scott, Tim O’Brien, Bela Fleck, Tony Rice and other like artists. He likes to call his style, “Folkgrass for the Critical Thinker.”
His latest album Writing with Fire can be found on his website www.kevinneidig.com as well as the latest EP “The Farm Sessions Vol 1.” Kevin also teaches a wide range of instruments online through zoom, has a monthly online Guitar Warm Up Program (GWUP) and has published music books on Amazon and has an online guitar course on Soundslice called “Riff Monkey.”
Kevin is a versatile musician who combines the virtuosity of singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter with eloquent effortlessness. His nimble fingers execute a fretboard with a spider weaving geometry, projecting tenderness, mystery, exuberance, and wit. His honed, flexible vocals are at ease with old-as-the-hills bluegrass and pop numbers, with an impressive range and clear, powerful emotive voice. Kevin's songwriting approach presents a different perspective, using intricate timing, ingenuity with keys and tempos, and a dizzying chord contortion. His lush, tuneful journeys are not to be missed.
