Rozza / Kevin Rotherham - Guitar Singer | Derry, Northern Ireland

Description

My act is dedicated to entertain, whatever the occasion. In the beginning of my music carreer, I was playing mainly rock'n'roll and ambient music. For example Kinks/Kings Of Leon and Otis Redding/Jack Johnson. After playing to larger and varied audiences my style including more chart and Irish Folk/Trad.
Since travelling extensively thoughout Europe, playing in Irish Pubs and Cruise Liners, my set has grown to cover all genres of music. Lively entertainer and upbeat songs with as much banter as I am allowed to provide.

Biography

My music career started quite late at the age of 25. It began with busking away from home, in Galway. Playing mostly my own music, I got some radio play and shows just from playing in a side street. Based in Derry I quickly tried to build up some gigs locally. Soon I had weekly residencies and a band. The band released an original CD and played some covers in the set, this enabled a good following providing gigs further afield in Belfast and Dublin.
After the band had split I continued to play the shows as a solo act. In some cases the audiences preferred this and I was soon being offered ... wedding gigs and birthday parties. Some of these took me to Scotland and then Barcelona.
Shortly after I was then I was approached to apply for a scandanavian booking agency. Within a fortnight I was on my way to Denmark to perform two shows before heading off to Stockholm to board my first cruise ship.
From then, 2013 I have performed some 500+ shows abroad. Most notably 32day stint for the cruise liners on the Baltic sea and a six week tour in New York/New Jersey. Other events include tours in Belgium, Denmark and Irish pub residencies in Salou, Grab Canaria and Lanzarotte.
At home I work for several agents playing festivals corporate events and hotels such as Belfast's Europa. Also I enjoy the vibrant pub scene in Derry and Belfast which has several great venues to play.
