Kicklighter

Tallahassee, Florida

I'm Everett Young, the founder of Kicklighter.

I'm 48 and picked up guitar 7 years ago, after finishing a PhD in political psychology and not getting the tenure-track academic job I thought I wanted.

My latest album is 2.5 years in the making.

My next step is to pursue composing for the orchestra. When or whether I'll return to pop music, I don't know. Thanks so much for listening!
