Kevin Dorin is a Canadian songwriter and musician based in northern Idaho, known for his soulful blend of folk, blues, and Americana. Originally from Calgary, Alberta, he has made a significant mark on the music scene in the inland NW USA, where he is recognized for his distinctive vibrato voice and compelling lyrics. Dorin’s music often crosses genres, with influences described as a mix of Ed Sheeran and The Black Keys, while maintaining a strong blues foundation.

 

He has performed extensively, including as the former lead singer of the blues-alt band *Bigger Fish Than Guns*, with which he toured across Western Canada. His solo work includes the seven-track album *Invisible Lines* (released around 2018), a critically praised project that balances blues and Americana with sparse yet captivating production. Dorin recorded this album in his home studio, handling most of the instrumentation himself, with mostly analog gear and microphones he modified. The album was mastered by New York engineer Carol Rowatti using high-end analog equipment, including a compressor famously used by The Beatles.

Over the years he has opened for a variety of international touring acts such as AWOLNATION, Scott Pemberton Trio, and LeRoy Bell(X Factor/Elton John) & Madeline Hawthorne.
