About Kevin

Ashkenazi's alter ego is Kevin A. Madden, who is daily in the awkward position of explaining that he is a magician and a musician. Besides playing the piano, Kevin has also served as the Education Director for the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, has lived in France & Austria, and holds a Master's degree in education. Both of his parents were professional musicians. For more detailed information about Kevin and his music you may download his complete resume by clicking here.

Pianist Kevin A. Madden is shown at the top of the page flanked by two of his favorite musicians. Drummer Kerry Garloff is a remarkable musician, fluent in many styles. He was born and raised in Sonoma County, and began playing drums when he was ten.
