KEVIN BROWNLEE
Kevin Brownlee plays a unique native drum kit and all types of percussive instruments. He grew up in Florida and Georgia, where he played Division I college football as an inside linebacker and later earned an M.A. in Psychology. During school and after starting a counseling practice, Kevin formed several bands, playing a standard trap set and singing lead vocals. Kevin and Jim created a unique drum cage that suspends five native drums along with a 25-inch ride cymbal, a cow bell, and gamelan chimes. Two other drums mounted on stands and a beautiful Grandmother drum complete the kit. Kevin also composes music on the guitar and keyboard.

"This group plays awesome meditation music that will truly transport you. For a trio, they pack the punch of an entire orchestra, enveloping you in mystical melodies." - Sandra, Labyrinth Resource Group of Santa Fe
"Perhaps the best input I can give to you about the CD is that I missed the exit on my way to work! I was relaxed and even my breathing was calm. Since I now had a fifteen mile detour, I was able to listen to the entire CD. It was unbelievable, and I enjoyed every song." - Lynda from Melbourne, FL
"We love Mystic Measures!" - Kitty, broadcasting from KZYX, www.iridiumradio.com
