Central Mass Main Presenter and Breakout Session Information
MAIN PRESENTER: Kevin Shields
Kevin Shields first developed a passion for music after getting his first Metallica cds for Christmas at age 13, and began teaching himself guitar. Later he put his dreams of being in a ridiculously heavy metal band on the shelf when he realized that he could bypass getting a real job in college by playing solo acoustic/pop music in local bars. Although he knew only 5 humble, non-metal songs that he would play over and over, he miraculously wasn't fired -- and eventually expanded his musical repertoire by passing a “song request” paper and pen around at shows. Much to the chagrin of those first audiences, any skill in singing came years later.
These days Kevin can be found playing solo and with friends at venues and events throughout New England, especially the pier at Old Orchard Beach, Maine, every summer.
