KEVIN NEIL Kevin Neil started playing guitar as a child and has never had the sense to stop. He has played gigs in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and as far away as Toronto. Working in venues ranging from multi- million-dollar resort hotels to blue-collar bars to cruise ships and everything in between, Kevin has maintained a level of income sufficient enough to keep him from living in a van down by the river. His legendary performances have made him a perennial favorite at the local School For The Deaf. He has performed many styles of music with a wide variety of groups and also performs as a solo act. One comment that is often heard at his shows is, "Kevin has a great face for radio." Highlights for him include performing with the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra and Hello, my name is Derek Boone. You remember me; the kid with the red stinging hands freshly swatted by the teachers wooden ruler. He said that I tapped on the desk too much. You know, the one sent from the classroom to the hallway for fidgeting too much. That's right... you are beginning to remember now. I wasn't the athlete either. All me and my pals wanted to do was hole up in somebody's basement and listen to Judas Priest. We'd learn every note, you know. I still fidget and I still tap, but I've also travelled the globe, seen places and things that are the sweet reward of those years spent in the hallway blowing cold air onto the backs of my hands. I've shared the stage with the best and the worst of the lot. We all have a story to tell. The loner; the geek; the outcast. We're a proud bunch. I play drums for Carrie because I like her story.

Hello, my name is Derek Boone. You remember me; the kid with the red stinging hands freshly swatted by the teachers wooden ruler. He said that I tapped on the desk too much. You know, the one sent from the classroom to the hallway for fidgeting too much. That's right... you are beginning to remember now. I wasn't the athlete either. All me and my pals wanted to do was hole up in somebody's basement and listen to Judas Priest. We'd learn every note, you know.

I still fidget and I still tap, but I've also travelled the globe, seen places and things that are the sweet reward of those years spent in the hallway blowing cold air onto the backs of my hands. I've shared the stage with the best and the worst of the lot. We all have a story to tell. The loner; the geek; the outcast. We're a proud bunch.I play drums for Carrie because I like her story. It's not the same as mine. It's not like anybody else I know. But it motivates her to put it all out there no matter what the cost. Her story is in her songs, like my story is in my drumming, and neither was ever meant to keep to ourselves.
