About The Artist

Located in Abbotsford, BC

Kevin Boese (pronounced “Bose” like the audio company) has been a lifelong musician and songwriter. He incorporates an energetic mix of acoustic rock and folk into his original tunes, some of which are inspired by the groups he also likes to cover, like Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer and Rush. The lyrics he writes tend to delve into real-world themes, inspired by gratitude and personal growth.

Kevin enjoys building community and creating experiences that bring people together which has been expressed through his involvement with playing music in a local prison, and gigging in local coffeehouses, breweries, house concerts, and other venues.

Kevin is also an avid mountain biker and is actively involved with the local biking association, working with local indigenous groups, and contributing to maintaining the trails and fostering a love for the outdoors.

His proudest accomplishment is raising four children with his wife, Nancy.
