Kevin Slick

Kevin Slick has been drawing, painting, writing, and creating music for as long as he can remember, which is a very long time. 

In the field of visual arts, Slick studied at Penn State University which was located in his hometown. He later studied at School of Visual Arts in NYC. His paintings, mostly watercolor and ink abstracts have been seen in shows and now reside in collections around the world. He also works as a photographer and graphic designer, and his images have been seen primarily in music magazines. He has a long career as a comic artist as well.

As a writer, Slick has published several books of prose and poetry and regularly writes for music publications such as Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Today. 

Since 1985, Kevin has been recording and performing an amazing array of music. His original tunes combine the best of traditional roots with contemporary creativity. When Slick covers a tune, he breathes new life into the song by taking it into unexpected directions. The Philly Rock Guide has called his work, "A witty amalgam of folk, rock and world beat rhythms." Option Magazine said "Slick is a songwriter who crafts his music into the far horizons of artistic vision. He takes inspiration and molds it into a rewarding end product."   Slick has also created an impressive catalog of film scores for classic silent films being released on DVD. He often performs live with the movies at film conventions. "Impressive, among the best of the singer-songwriters, his albums are a 'must have' addition to anyone's collection" - Relix Magazine  . "The equal of any ‘new folk’ singer-songwriter today, creating a sonic world that is both unique and constantly interesting." - Philadelphia City Paper. Moving to Colorado from New York City in 2004, Kevin has focused primarily on Bluegrass and Americana music, playing with bands like Steel Pennies, The Savage Hearts and Orchard Creek Band as well as continuing to write and record on his own.
