Short bio
Steven Kent (Steven Kent Music) is a country singer-songwriter — traditional country, western, rockabilly, and gospel. Book him as Steven Kent (stage name since 2012). Not an impersonator and not a jukebox musical. Early 1980s Elektra Records (Warner Music Group) singer-songwriter; the label chapter ended; this is the relaunch. He met Johnny Cash in 1990 and Elvis Presley as a teenager. Those meetings shape Cash & King, a one-of-a-kind musical celebration (180 minutes, two sets). The Man in Black opens. Elvis remains the King of Rock and Roll — fifty years later. He shares his personal stories of meeting them both. Upcoming album: Cash & King, LIVE. Spreckels Performing Arts Center in 2017 and October 2019 (Cash & King premiered 2017). Raven Performing Arts Center: October 2017 and August 2022. Studio debut Dream & Believe (2012) — he wrote 7 of the 10 songs and produced the album. He is writer and publisher (BMI, Steven Kent Music) of the originals, including the Netherlands #1 “Would He Believe” (written in 2002 after the 25th anniversary Candlelight Vigil).
