Kevin McCarthy
Kevin began singing before he could talk and began entertaining at the age of 3.
Armed with a broom for a guitar and his fist as a microphone, Kevin would sing his favorite Irish Rover songs to the delight of friends and family.
Kevin began writing songs in middle school and his first band in high school
was called "Outlet". As the lead singer, Kevin and his band rocked his talent show playing to over 1000 enthusiastic friends and peers. That show made a
huge impression on him! Kevin began realizing he loved singing and performing. His goal was to someday make
it his living. As a senior in high school, Kevin's new band "Hollywood" played bigger parties and events, and Kevin began putting his studio
together and increased his songwriting.
Kevin co-founded McCarthyizm with his brother Joe in college and they
quickly became one of the top bands in WNY. Kevin left the group after 10 years and finally reached his goal of becoming a successful, full-time musician.
Since then, Kevin has developed into one of northeast's top singer
-songwriters and is one of the most sought-after entertainers in WNY.
A 4-Time winner at the Buffalo Music Awards, Kevin was twice voted Top
Solo Artist ('00 & '01), his former band was also twice voted Top Original Group ('95 & '96).
