Kevin Myers

I'm an acoustic entertainer, and play covers of Maritime & Irish classics, but mostly rock, pop, country and traditional songs with a focus on audience interaction and fun!

Since my move from PEI to NS about 10 years ago, I've performed at many of the popular pubs and bars around the HRM, in the Valley and on the Eastern & South Shores. Most notably, I’ve been a regular performer at the Spitfire Arms in Windsor since 2011, and both the Porters Lake Pub and St. Louis Bar & Grill since 2016.  I also regularly share the gift of music with residents of Northwood Long-Term Care (as part of their music therapy program), and am happy to give back to my community. 

15 years after playing in bands around PEI & Toronto, I played my first solo acoustic show in the Queen's Suite at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto - January 2001. My music project 'Edward the 3rd', evolved to 'Myers & Mike', and has come full circle with 'Kevin Myers - Acoustic All Request'.

I love the acoustic guitar, and have refined my strumming & playing style since learning to play guitar in my early teens. Be it light 'Paul Simon' fingerstyle, medium 'John Cougar' strumming or a heavy 'Oasis' attack, I enjoy all aspects of this wonderful, social instrument!

I perform using a quick setup / teardown Bose sound system, provide front & back stage lighting, (including a flickering LED Flame!) - and add rich harmonies and looping effects for a fuller sound.

I promote each venue and show by: 1) Facebook posts a week before, and the day of each show. 2) Venue specials & events programmed into a scrolling LED sign that's integrated into my light show. 3) Venue splash screen on my website, the day of each show, directing your customers to 'like' your Facebook group page. (see Venue Promotion  / Co-Branding on my homepage)

I tailor my sets on the fly (depending on audience), and encourage requests – I ask my audience to visit kevinmyers.ca to 'request a song’ – shout it out, write it on a napkin, or send it via website chat to the stage!

I rarely take breaks, and am notoriously punctual. I know hundreds of songs, and I'm always learning new music to try and broaden the appeal for my acoustic show.

I work really hard at memorizing song lyrics, and love the connection I feel singing directly to an audience, and not from a song book.

I’m excited to play new venues, make new friends, and share the gift of music!
