“The man is an exceptional guitar player – for one thing – but also writes extremely clever, finessed, clockwork folk-pop songs whose singable surface belies a tremendous underlying sense of craft. It was really great to see him again.” – Jowi Taylor, Six String Nation﻿

“...a beautiful snapshot of the Canadian landscape... voice is like no one else. He is all Canadian, with hints of Cockburn, Cohen and Lightfoot in his voice... well-crafted and skillfully written songs, dazzling guitar playing. Corbett is a true folksinger... Son of a Rudderless Boat is a marvelous listen.” – Penguin Eggs Magazine
 

People keep telling Kev Corbett he really doesn’t sound like anbody else. He’s a wordy guy with a big heart. A serious picker. A journeyman multi-instrumentalist sideman, singer, music director, and tech. A man who loves a great story, especially if it isn’t his. He’s comfortable in his own skin, not a hint of pretense.

An artist of uncommon depth, breath, experience and instinct, Corbett's name is known and respected across Canada as a songwriter of the highest order, an award-winning utility man, an early adopter, and a touring machine. A classic Boy Scout who knows how to rock, and tell a heck of a story around the fire.﻿

Kev Corbett's newest album finds him exploring new sonic neighbourhoods and telling the stories of the people he meets there, while maintaining the sidewalk humanity and solidarity and heart and protest that define the Folk genre in which he cut his teeth. Produced by Jason Mingo and with few other studio collaborators, Corbett continues to walk a path imagining the all great players and writers meeting at the Big Tavern in the Sky, where Woody Guthrie is the bartender.﻿
