Kevin Slick has been performing, writing, and recording music for over 35 years. A talented multi-instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin, banjo), he has recorded over 30 albums as a solo artist or as part of a group, and teaches music as well. He currently plays with Orchard Creek Band as well as releasing solo works. Kevin is a photographer, visual artist, school teacher and long-term resident of Louisville, CO.
