Kevin Buxton is an accomplished and experienced roots musician
and singer-songwriter, who plays original acoustic music
that blends folk with country and blues.

"Subtle, innovative, but also highly melodic and passionate, this
is emotionally powerful music that is both contemporary and
retro, not easily classifiable. Beautifully crafted, memorable
songs, eclectic and refreshingly different."

KR Promotions

"Sharply-observed, poignant songs, deceptively simple and
inviting, but cast about with mysterious ambient shadows."

Pat Fish, "Masters of Budvar" Northampton

"An intelligent, soulful, modern folk sound, sparkling
with ethereal grace. The album blends a rich bleakness
with an easy charm that is spooky but very engaging."

Overplay

"This is music that feels like country roads, briefly
pausing to let the sheep cross in front of you, stopping
at the village pub to exchange stories and walking home...
Quirky and definitely worth the effort."

Fatea

"Powerful, well-observed songs dealing with unusual
subjects, by turns moving, thought-provoking and
unsettling. With the observational skills and incisive
language of Richard Thompson, Kevin Buxton is
above all a songwriter with his own style and agenda.
A breath of fresh air."

Steve Rothero, "Harborough Acoustic"


Kevin performs at clubs, theatres and concert halls, either as main guest or as support
to major roots artists; also at festivals, acoustic showcases and good pub venues
that promote high quality acoustic music.
