The Starving Artists

The Starving Artists is a saxophone/guitar/looping duo that began when our full bands were on hiatus due to so many venues being shut down during Covid. We wanted to find a way to keep playing music, and Corey had always wanted to try busking. We hit the streets of South Bend, and when people were coming out of their apartments to listen to us rather than chasing us away, we knew we had something special! It wasn’t long before we were invited inside, and now we play all over the Michiana area and take road trips to other parts of Indiana and Michigan and as far away as Tennessee. We are also regulars at various area festivals, such as Elkhart’s Rhapsody Arts and Music Festival, Elkhart Jazz Fest, and Middlebury Summer Fest, and we are in high demand for special events such as weddings, private parties, and class reunions.

 

We play popular music spanning a wide range of eras and genres, from Frank Sinatra to Billie Eilish and even Metallica! We love to take requests and can tailor our set list to your event or venue. Our first full album, including seven originals and seven fan-favorite cover songs, was released on all major streaming platforms on May 10, 2023.

After high school, Kevin enrolled at the DePaul University School of Music, where he graduated with highest honors, earning both his BA and MM in Jazz Studies. While there, he studied piano with Chicago jazz legend Larry Novak.

Kevin has recorded three albums as a leader. Red Gold (2014) and Perspectives (2022) proved popular with a global audience, garnering over two million streams across streaming services. All About Jazz described Kevin as “one of the young lions of the piano deserving of attention.” Chicago Jazz Magazine said that he displays “thrilling virtuosity and agile, vibrant improvisations.”

Kevin’s latest album, Twilight, releases on October 5, 2023. Accompanied by bandmates Joe Policastro and Jon Deitemyer, the group pays homage to the classic piano trio albums of the past while incorporating Kevin’s unique take on the art form.

Currently, Kevin serves as a faculty member at the Northwestern University Bienen School of Music, where he imparts his passion for jazz to the next generation of emerging artists.

The Reunion Beatles Fantasy Tribute Sun, Mar 24, 2024 | 6:30pm Eastern
The Reunion Beatles Fantasy Tribute

In November 2023, The Beatles announced the release of their final single, a newly produced version of John Lennon’s ballad “Now and Then.”  The song, featuring all four of the band members, debuted on the U.K. Singles Chart at number 1, 54 years after their last chart topper.  In the United States, it debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart and at number 7 on the Hot 100, becoming their 35th top ten single.  “Now and Then” also debuted at number 1 on the Billboard AAA chart, making it the band’s first number 1 on a Billboard radio airplay chart since “Let It Be” in April of 1970.

Two years earlier, on November 21, 2021 the hotly anticipated Documentary Series “The Beatles: Get Back” made its Worldwide streaming debut on Disney+.  Three separate two hour plus episodes aired on consecutive nights.  The series, directed by Peter Jackson (“Lord of The Rings”) was created from over 55 hours of film footage originally shot for the 1970 Feature film, “Let It Be.”  Those who have seen it (including Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr) say that it fills you with excitement and joy as you witness the sheer magnificence of the greatest rock and roll band of all time, working, recording, playing, and radiating the magic that was The Beatles.  The series culminates with their last ever public performance; the entire 41minute “Rooftop Concert” from 1969.

For obvious reasons, the band was never able to “Get Back” after that day on the roof.  The Rock & Roll Reunion of all time was never to be.

But…WHAT IF it could have?

WHAT IF The Beatles could have reunited for one great concert that featured the best of The Beatles AND many of their solo hits too?  All in ONE night on ONE stage.

The Concert That Never Was…IS!

EXPERIENCE The Reunion Beatles – Fantasy Tribute Live!
