Description
Kevin Waara made his first appearance in the maternity ward of the Port Arthur General Hospital in Thunder Bay, Canada. Upon completion of college Kevin began working as an electrical draftsman at his uncle Eric's firm, Peterson Electric Company. Four years later he connected with Thunder Bay's Bombardier Inc (formerly Canadian-Car) plant working in both manufacturing sectors and the engineering department.
Kevin penned his first song at fifteen, carefully, during a high school chemistry class. It was called "I'll Be Your Guy Any Day" inspired by a mad crush over his teacher. Soon after, prompted by two early band mates, cousin Glenn Niemi and James Goodman, vocals followed. Confidence was gained quickly.
Kevin started making records at local studios in 1972. He was quite fortunate at this time to meet Don Grashey, a much accomplished and highly respected record producer/ music mogul. Kevin and Don began an artist/ producer arrangement which lasted 10 years harvesting several recording dates. One such session resulted in a single titled "Sweet Lorene" released to Canadian and selected U.S. radio stations. The song earned a Recommended Pick Hit nod in the major U.S. trade publication Billboard Magazine, June 1974. The first ever single Kevin recorded and released was a cover of 2 Elvis Presley nuggets, "Anything That's Part of You" and "One-Sided Love Affair". Sales totalled a whopping 311 copies.
