It was in 1978, however, that he got his first big...rejection, when Chuck Barris, (host of the Gong Show), told him, "Kid, you're too good for this show!"

When asked to comment on his "live" performances, Kevin states, "Let's face it, major stardom is not often in the cards for most singer/songwriters. Whats important to me is to touch live audiences and radio listeners with my music and lyrics one heart at a time. I want my audience to leave feeling entertained, but also with a melody in their heads they can't seem to shake and if I'm real lucky, a new topic for their next conversation."

Here's what other people are saying about Kevin Danzig...

"After a brief sound check, the beret-clad troubadour steps to the mic, and his face lights up. With the first notes from his guitar you sense that the room is his."
---Ian Whitaker (The Room), Review of Original Music

"Kevin reminds me of a young Andrew Lloyd Webber, in an 'off-Broadway' sense."
---Rod Kennedy, Founder, Kerrville Folk Festival

"Kevin somehow just pours his energy into his guitar, yet not at all like those thousands of players with more energy than skill. This is something more ethereal, kind of a 'something inside him flows from his being through the instrument out to the listening space' that enhances the vocals and the lyrics instead of burying them for the attentive listener." ---Seegar & Miki Swanson, Fiddler's Green/Atlanta, GA

"Kevin's latest CD is the best acoustic record I've heard!" ---Jason Hanks, LSU Spectrum

"Reflective listeners will hear Kevin but will see themselves."
---Dennis Kahler, Alabama Songwriter's Guild

"One minute he's like Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull's charismatic leader), and the next, he's crooning like Cat Stevens." ---Caroline Aiken, Atlanta-based musician/poet

"Danzig's voice inhabits each tune with a presence that ranges from plangent to poignant." ---Jim Kirlin Taylor Guitars
