Kevin Quain is a Canadian cabaret artist, who plays weekly shows at the Cameron Public House, a major live music venue in Toronto.
He is a self-taught musician, singer/songwriter, and award-winning playwright. He has written music for film, TV, and the stage, and has performed with scores of artists including The Mahones, Carnival Diablo, and Mary Margaret O'Hara.
