THE MUSIC COOPe

Kevin Prosch 

Kevin grew up in the deep south with a love for music early on. His father loved country music and stayed up all hours of the night playing records, his mother loved classical music and played the Piano. His childhood was a troubled time and music became a great encouragement for him. He listened to the likes of, Motown Artists, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Hank Williams and Ron Woods, and the Mystic Moods Orchestra. He began to travel playing gospel music from county to county and eventually began to do larger events.

Kevin had a fresh new sound and loved the spontaneous element of music. Along with many ethnic instruments, long time friend and drummer Martin Neil had played a big role in encouraging him with this sound, himself also playing several of these instruments, such as log drums and didgeridoos.

Kevin has influenced more worship artists than any other worship leader in this decade such as Martin Smith of Delirious, Matt Redman, Darrell Evans, and many others.

Kevin then in 1993 formed a club band,The Black Peppercorns produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Emma Lou Harris, Ray LaMotayne) with the likes of Counting crows and Peter Gabriel as his influences and began to travel to different countries and play shows from Albania, Switzerland to New Zealand.

He now resides in Amarillo Texas and owns and operates a recording studio Third Ear Music which specializes in old tube equipment and an unusual array of old instruments and amplifiers. He also pastors a church.

His hobbies are helping other musicians with their music, Engineering, Fishing, lots of camping, and a good glass of Lagavulin.

He also has a not for profit organization that sends musical instruments to young musicians in need around the Globe.
