Bio
Kevin Ebert is a professional musician based in Cincinnati, Ohio, with over 25 years of instructional experience. He has taught and coached all levels of aspiring guitarists – from complete beginners to advanced guitarists seeking professional performing careers. From 2007-2020, Kevin served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Music at Xavier University where he taught a full range of courses including music lessons to majors, minors and elective students, group guitar classes, and music ensembles. Additionally, he instructed courses in Western music appreciation, history of rock music, and his specialized course Heavy Metal: Music, Culture & Politics. Between 2003-2010 he served as an instructor in the Preparatory Department at the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati. Kevin is an active member of ISMMS (International Society for Metal Music Studies) and has delivered conference papers on metal music in San Francisco, Vancouver, Bowling Green (OH), Nashville, and Montreal. He has published work on metal music education in Connecting Metal to Culture (2017) and is co-editor of Teaching Metal in the College Classroom (forthcoming 2025). He is currently completing a PhD in Higher Education Leadership with a cognate in Popular Music Studies at the University of Dayton (Ohio).
Kevin is also a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Russia). He and his wife, Anastasia, have a young son, Edward, who is in the 4th grade and is unusually good at playing volleyball—along with piano, voice and guitar!
When Kevin isn’t teaching, performing, or taking his son all-around town for various sporting events, he likes to hang out at home with Nochka, his all-black cat, and his ever-crazy dog, Loki.
