Meet the Kids
Those Meddling Kids are Devon and Kathy Anderson from Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. They are an acoustic guitar/piano duo specializing in Classic Rock, Singer/Songwriter and Americana. They can play hundreds of songs, and no two shows are ever the same. Devon and Kathy use no pre-recorded tracks or accompaniment of any kind, which allows them to focus on harmony and musicianship as well as engaging the audience to request the playlist. Check out our Facebook page for all the fun, and check out the video clips!
Devon Anderson is from Pleasant Valley, Iowa, where he grew up playing country and bluegrass music with his family. While in college, he played in several classic rock/folk bands that enjoyed regional success and developed a wide variety of genres. After a couple of spring break trips to Daytona Beach and Sanibel Island, he fell in love with Florida and moved to Pinellas county in 1996. In his spare time, he enjoys writing and recording original music, cooking, gardening, art, community outreach and family time.
Kathy Anderson is from Redford Township, Michigan, where she grew up playing sports and singing in her school choir and various vocal ensembles. As a little girl, Kathy used to put on singing shows for her parents, pretending she was Barbara Streisand! Kathy moved to Pinellas county in 1985, where she worked in the hotel industry for many years and played competitive beach volleyball. Prior to meeting Devon, she was singing in their church choir and was a member of the Sunday morning worship team. In her spare time, Kathy enjoys doing anything active...she plays pickleball, takes her paddleboard out on the intercoastal, and goes on bike rides. If they are not playing music, you can find Kathy and Devon watching sunset on Indian Rocks Beach!
Matt Cannon is from Riverdale, Iowa, and has been Devon's writing and performing partner for more than forty years. He comes to Indian Rocks Beach several times a year to add bass, keyboards and harmonies to the band. Matt continues to work in Iowa as a pediatric dentist, but he doesn't really have to, so make sure you give him a nudge to hang up the drill and come join our gang full time!
The Music we Play!
Originals
Devon began writing songs at an early age, and continues to write and perform currently. His songs focus primarily on family, faith and everyday life. As one commentator said, "Devon's music combines cornfields and coastlines to create a unique Americana sound". As a result, most Meddling Kids shows include at least a few songs you won't hear anywhere else! He has made studio recordings of his work with several notable musicians, including Steve Grisham (The Outlaws) Tommy Crain (The Charlie Daniels' Band) Johnny Neel (The Allman Bros. Band) Barry Rapp (The Henry Paul Band) and several others. Devon's music has caught the attention of industry professionals in Nashville, New York and New Jersey, and receives airplay on multiple international radio stations and independent stations here at home.
