Kevin Carter grew up in Conroe, Texas, and began playing the fiddle at the age of twelve. After graduating from Sam Houston State University, he went on the road with Johnny Bush and the Bandoleros—a 12 piece band which included 3 fiddles and 4 horns. During that time, Kevin shared the stage with well-known musicians such as Johnny Gimble, Frenchie Burke, Kenneth “Little Red” Hayes, Larry Franklin, Bob Boatright, Bobby Flores, and countless others—their influences bringing variety, experience, and excitement to his music career. Later, Kevin toured throughout the United States and Canada with the legendary Gene Watson. In 1995, he left the road to raise a family, settling in Angelina County. Kevin has been employed with Temple Inland in Diboll since 1997, and is currently playing with Bobby Flores and the Yellow Rose Band. He offers four CD’s that feature a combination of Western Swing, Classic Country, and Cajun music. Albums include Breakin Out, Fiddlin around in East Texas with Kenneth “Little Red” Hayes, Christmas Time’s a Comin with Bryan Harkness, and aLive and Fiddlin at the Texas Opry.
