| The driving rhythms that can be
heard on Eclipse recordings and in their live show are almost exclusively
produced by Kevin Jones; and, no, we don’t know how he is able to
do it. His mother tells us that, as a child, Kevin could always be found
creating sound effects as he played with his toy trucks, soldiers, etc.
Little did she know that this propensity for producing odd noises would
serve him so well later in life.
Not surprisingly vocal percussion is only one dimension of this human drum set. Kevin is also an accomplished singer/performer and dancer and has an impressive musical theater resume under his belt. After completing his Associates Degree at Snow College, as well as a two-year mission to Bangkok, Thailand, he transferred to USU where he changed his major to broadcast journalism. He couldn’t get rid of the performing bug, however, and ended up joining the New Horizons show choir and dance troupe, where he functioned as both a performer and a choreographer which then led to a scholarship with the Department of Programs and Entertainment. After graduating with a BA in journalism, and spending a few years dedicating his time to Eclipse, Kevin pursued his Masters degree at Utah State University in Instructional Technology. There is only one thing that Kevin loves more than singing with his friends in Eclipse, and that is spending time with his wife and two kids (Zachary and Eliza). When Kevin is not performing with Eclipse he works as an Instructional Designer for the Parker Hannifin Corporation in the Aerospace group. Kevin is from Taylorsville, UT, which seems appropriate considering his
middle name is Taylor. When he’s not spitting rhythmically into
a microphone, Kevin enjoys mountain biking, snowboarding, and a good game
of racquetball. |
