Kevin Bader

began playing guitar when he was six. His first paid gig was in grade nine when his split was $11.

He freelanced on stage and in the studio as a guitarist/vocalist around the country music scene in Vancouver before returning to the Kootenays and forming The Sonny Boys in '93.

Kevin's influences include Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill, Mark Knopfler, Albert Lee, Rush, and Fleetwood Mac. His gear includes Yamaha, Fender, Godin, Ampeg, Marshall, Laney, and Genz-Benz.

These days, Kevin also plays acoustic solo gigs around the Okanagan, on a worship team at his church, and sits in occasionally with other bands on guitar or bass.
