Kevin Cardamore is a spirited, vibrant guitarist from Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) who describes his style as steel string fingerstyle, as demonstrated on his latest release, "Steel Strings".  His guitars of choice include a Lowden SLE (Special Limited Edition) Fingerstyle and a 1996 Lowden O12. Cardamore has played guitar since 1965, and clearly states his career goal, "Professional concert touring."
When prompted to reveal his favorite effect for the guitar, Cardamore replied, "Ibeam Passive to Ultrasound Ultra DI to Yamaha AG Stomp in P1 setting," and offered his musicial goals, "Any guitarist's style is a culmination of many influences from others
and from within. I always make efforts to be original by improvising on my
influences. I wish not to be identified as sounding like well known guitarists, and
strive to be original with my chops and compositions." He would love to someday study with Pat Metheny, and is currently listening to Lenny Breau and Pierre Bensussan. His greatest satisfaction? "When I finish a gig and meet with the folks in the audience," he states unambiguously.
Cardamore lists ongoing and upcoming projects thusly, "Currently recording my second CD, due to be released
in the next few months."
