Guitarist Kevin Armstrong (David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Iggy Pop, Morrissey, Sinead O'Connor) [Episode 160]

Kevin Armstrong's brand new book is called Absolute Beginner: Memoirs of the World's Best Least-Known Guitarist.David Bowie said of Armstrong, “Kevin does what I pretend to do. Kevin’s a proper musician.” Iggy Pop said, “Kevin Armstrong has been around, and around.” In the early 80s, Armstrong signed to EMI Records as a solo artist, but fate had other plans for him. He’s gone on to carve out a career as a producer, songwriter, and guitarist, performing live and recording with Thomas Dolby, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Paul McCartney, Roy Orbison, Morrissey, Sinead O’Connor, and many, many more. In Absolute Beginner, Armstrong takes us into the backstage world of the artists he’s worked with for over 40 years, what it’s like to have a prime seat at the high table of rock and roll for over 40 years, and what it takes to survive as a self-taught musician. Kevin has had quite a career and he’s here to tell us all about it!Purchase a copy of Absolute Beginner: Memoirs of the World's Best Least-Known Guitarist through Jawbone Press HERE.
