“I channel the music. I’m am just a conduit for it. Most of the time, I am trying to get out of the way and to let things flow the way they flow.”

Kevin Dolan is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, studio engineer, mastering engineer, and producer based in Asheville, North Carolina.

Born into a very musical family, it seems only natural that Dolan would have music embedded in his DNA. He began playing guitar at eight years of age, was learning piano and keys by 10, and soon after would take on the bass guitar. Dolan’s two brothers took up the guitar as well, and the family band was going to need a bottom end.

“When a song can be stripped down to it’s essence, just an instrument and a voice and it retains it’s strength, than you know you’ve got something.”

Dolan draws from a deep well of musical influences from The Eagles and Steely Dan to Jackson Brown. From the late, great John Prine, to bands like Boston. Dolan appreciates the process of the music, writing itself through the work of his hands, voice, and heart.

“The songwriting process always varies from song to song. Some songs are written over many years. I may have pieces of tunes that do not come to completion until long after I started working on them. At other times it’s a focused effort to construct and sculpt an idea that does not begin clearly but materializes over several sessions. I like to let the music come together as it does, and often things come out in ways I had truly not expected. My latest release, "Burning Bridges," has that quality for me.“

Dolan's latest solo album "Burning Bridges," released in May of 2020, was a labour of great love and dedication. Thirteen tracks, all written or co-written, arranged, performed, recorded, mixed, mastered, and produced by Dolan himself. Kevin is joined by his brother Patrick and sister Kaeylea Vankieth on the track "The Only Everything", which the siblings co-wrote together. Paul Koptak spices this cut and several tunes on the album with the sound of his sweet Dobro, bringing even more warmth to an already sultry sounding canvas.

“Making an album like this can be a daunting task if I view it from the angle of what it will take to complete the project. I’ve gotta break things down step by step because when you’re self-producing, you are wearing many hats, but you can only wear one hat at a time. I’ve learned that I must compartmentalize the process, or I will feel completely overwhelmed. This album has taught me a lot about approaching a self-produced solo record.”

In addition to writing, performing, and recording his music, Dolan offers his many years of experience in the studio, playing, recording, mixing, and mastering for artists looking to document their music. In the peaceful mountains of Asheville, Dolan has built a studio complex where musicians can book recording sessions. Kevin is also available as a studio musician and can receive projects digitally for mixing and mastering work.

“Since moving to the mountains of Western North Carolina, I have found creative energy that has inspired and motivated me to begin to pursue the music that has been stirring in my soul since youth. I’ve equipped a comfortable and professional recording environment that provides a place for capturing and documenting these moments of inspiration. I welcome like-minded musicians to share and take part in this vision of creating and documenting new music."

I am looking for clients with insight, skills, and passion that need a place to record and that I can offer my assistance based on the needs of their particular project. I have done records for people and provided all of their backing tracks, and with others, I’ve merely mixed and engineered and let them call the shots. I know when to lead, follow, or get out of the way. I view the song itself to be the essential thing and try to allow it to guide and decide what it needs to be complete.

“ This has been many years in the making. I've always had an in-home studio throughout the years, but to have a fully functioning separate studio space is something which I've always dreamed of happening.”

“I guess my idea on this album was that I wanted to talk about life, pain, love, and just humanity; what we go through as human beings. My faith and real-life encompasses all of these things. I believe that the purpose of music is to glorify God, but I think God wants to say a lot of different things."

BENEFITS OF WINDOW FILM

Supertint, your window film experts, will fight off your WINDOW WOES!

Keep Your Furnishings Safe From the Sun

Let the superheroes at Supertint protect your furnishings from fading. Our amazing window tint will help you reduce glare and heat and save energy in your home or business.

Save Energy

Does your home or business life consist of constant arguments over the utility bills? Nobody likes to be told not to turn on the air conditioner when they are feeling really hot. Supertint is the solution!

​

Madico window film reflects the suns heat up to 80%, which makes it more efficient and cheaper to keep the building cool in the summer and also eliminates hot spots. It also has an insulating effect up to 20% to keep in the heat in the building during the winter, which will drastically decrease your electric bill.

Increase Privacy

Privacy is important to our health, well-being, and personal comfort. Madico offers a full line of reflective, translucent, and opaque films to match your desired amount of visibility and solitude.

Privacy window film can be added to windows to make areas private without sacrificing light. This film can be used in the bathroom, office, on kitchen cabinet doors, on glass door panels, or for windows that face the street.

You can get tinting that gives you a clear view of the outside but prevents people from being able to see in.

Enhance Security

Even broken tempered glass can be dangerous to small children, pets, and other family members. Window film makes glass more shatter-resistant by reducing stress points and allowing added flexibility. If the glass does break, the film can hold the shards together, minimizing the risk of injury.

Madico safety film can also enhance security by protecting occupants from flying debris, high winds, blast fragmentation, forced entries, and vandalism.

✋ STOP GLARE

​

​

Direct sunlight is valuable in a home. It makes you feel great and reduces the need to use lights. Too much light can sometimes create a glare and make it difficult to work or relax without closing the blinds. Window tint helps reduce significant glare, allowing you to make the most of the sunlight.

OWB Journalism Review for Supertint by Len Estrin - Journalist of One World Blue Media

It’s amazing how much tinted window film can do for a home or business. Just ask Dustin Garger, owner of Supertint Residential and Commercial Window Tinting. “Supertint window films can increase energy efficiency, improve privacy, enhance security, and add comfort and beauty to homes, offices, storefronts, even entire buildings.”

While that’s quite a claim, Dustin cites three factors to back it up. “First, we use Madico window film. Its high performance coating reflects 80% of sun’s heat in the summer, and provides an extra 20% insulating effect in the winter. It rejects 99% of harsh ultraviolet light and reduces 95% of glare. So even the brightest rooms are comfortable all year round.”

The next factor is Supertint’s experience. “My father and I began installing window tints in 1993. In 2001, we formed Supertint Residential and Commercial Window Tinting. We’ve completed hundreds of installations throughout the tri-state region.” Along the way, Dustin acquired a reputation for specialized expertise. “I am one of the few people certified in PA to install 15 mil blast resistant coatings for installations that require enhanced security, such as medical marihuana dispensaries.”

Of course, not all installations are that exotic. But they still require plenty of know-how. Recently, for example, Supertint worked with a company that purchased an open building shell. “We removed the old window film. But before we could install Madico film, we had to prepare the glass properly. When we were done, the surface was beyond spotless and so was the installation.”

In addition to exterior facing windows, Supertint designs and installs decorative window film in conference rooms, office doors, partitions and cubicles, even powder rooms. “We can give customers the look of etched glass at a fraction of cost.”

Supertint also install a variety of motorized window blinds and shades for companies that don’t need high performance window tinting. “We work with real estate offices, banks, wireless companies to give each office the same look and feel without sacrificing comfort.”

The third factor Dustin cites that sets Supertint apart is service. “As a family-based company, we take pride in customer support. We keep appointments, return phone calls quickly, and answer any questions before, during and after their installation. What’s more, we support our product with a lifetime warranty on residential installations and 15-year warranty on commercial jobs.”
