Somebody once said that Indiana-born Kevin Stonerock's music "is like Guy Clark\, John Hiatt and Gordon Lightfoot on a fishing trip." In some ways\, that has been a dilemma for Kevin\, becau se his music is not easy to pigeon-hole. Never a person to settle on one s pecific musical destination\, his songs are truly "Americana". Stonerock i s a master storyteller\; an introverted extrovert who is more comfortable in front of a crowd than in one\; a painter who's canvas is an amalgamatio n of traditional country\, folk and roots rock. \;

In the 1980&rsquo\;s\, through a happy accident\, Stonerock swerved i nto a career as an actor\, developing several one-man\, history-based show s (of which he has logged over 4\,000 performances)\, script writer\, and producer while still keeping up his chops as a performing musician and son gwriter. \; In the 1990s\, he wrote\, \; directed and composed mus ic for \;The Point In Time\, a series of outdoor dramas which ran for seven seasons in Carrollton\, Kentucky\, \;Plum Creek Anthology \; and \;Wabash River Tales \;which were written for the cities of Ve vay and Wabash\, Indiana\, respectively.

Although he was born and raised in the Midwest\, his roots go deep into the Cumberl and foothills of Kentucky and Tennessee. A blood relative of David Crocket t (they share common grandparents)\, he apparently inherited his famous co usin&rsquo\;s penchant for storytelling and love of solitude\; conflicting notions which on one hand require being alone and the other an audience. As a songwriter\, he brings ordinary characters to life with empathy and d ignity. Songs like &ldquo\;Indian Man&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;Railroad Man&rdquo \; and &ldquo\;Black Diamonds&rdquo\;\, the latter a story of a talented b ut alcoholic WW2 veteran with survivor&rsquo\;s guilt. Stonerock&rsquo\;s small town upbringing has also left it&rsquo\;s mark on his writing. &ldqu o\;Thornburg Street&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;Small Town Rock and Roll&rdquo\;\, & ldquo\;Those Days"\, &ldquo\;The Town Where I Was Born&rdquo\; and (from h is latest release) &ldquo\;This Old House&rdquo\; pay homage to a way of l ife that he reveres and treasures. \;
