Wings of a Dove
Kevin Martin, teaches the complex art of steel drum making to a small rural school that's looking to expand their music program. Under Heather Roth’s music program, Martin guides teachers, students, and volunteers through the painstaking process of hammering and shaping metal barrels into working, musical instruments.

Kevin Martin, while a student at Cornell, discovered a book written in 1964 at the school library titled Pete Seeger’s Steel Drums - How To Play Them and Make Them. With this book as their guide, Kevin and his brother Sean built their first steel drum to use in their band Bermuda Blue. After graduating with a degree in International Trade and Finance, Kevin pursued a career in his field, but the steel drum never left his mind. Over the years, he continued to build drums in his spare time. In 1998, Kevin left his job in finance to pursue steel drum building and playing music full-time. READ MORE
