Kevin Hassett – Musical Career Celebration
Kevin always had a love of music throughout his entire life.
He began his singing career performing in bands around the pubs and clubs of Liverpool during the late seventies and early eighties.
Between 2013 and 2017 he recorded 3 CD’s at Prism studio that got regular airplay on BBC Jazz radio programmes.
Kevin then went on to form the Jazz trio Kevin Hassett’s Redux that would appear in Jazz clubs, festivals and small theatres around the country. Gaining critical acclaim from audiences for his entertaining and engaging live performances.
He would always look for a character in the song and usually have some bizarre backstory of the composer from the Jazz era.
Kevin really developed as an artist and live performer through his enthusiasm, energy, sheer hard work and love of the music.
He had a great sense of humour that would carry everyone along with him in a difficult situation.
This web site is a celebration of Kevin’s life and talent as a Jazz singer. Everyone will be able to enjoy his live and recorded work, view photo’s, read biogs and leave comments.
Our great friend will be sadly missed but always fondly remembered by all the musicians, venues and tech staff he worked with.
