Text Kevin About a Specialty EventCall Kevin About Your Event
Your event, your audience

Give your crowd a clear connection to the action

When people are watching a live specialty format, they should not have to guess what is happening next or why a moment matters. Kevin works from the organizer’s plan to provide agreed on-mic support at the points where it is useful. Define the role before booking so the host’s voice supports the program rather than competing with it.

Keep your crowd informed from one moment to the next

A clear welcome, a well-timed announcement, and a useful introduction can help your crowd follow the event you have worked to organize. Kevin can provide that on-mic support using your schedule, names, terminology, and priorities. Walk through the format together to choose the moments he will handle and the information your audience needs.

  • Welcome the crowd and set up the opening
    Give attendees an agreed introduction to the event and the first planned moment.
  • Make agreed announcements
    Share organizer-approved information when the schedule calls for it.
  • Introduce people or segments
    Bring attention to speakers, participants, guests, or planned portions of the format.
  • Move between agreed program moments
    Help the audience follow changes in the planned sequence without overtaking the event itself.
  • Give planned updates
    Provide updates when the organizer has asked Kevin to handle them and supplied the necessary information.
  • Use supplied language
    Work from the names, terminology, pronunciations, required wording, and priorities the event team provides.
Representation matters

Representing your purpose

For Kevin, Riding for the Brand is not a decoration. It means that when he is working your event, he is representing the organization and purpose that brought people together. Use Kevin when you want the hosting role approached with professionalism and with the understanding that the evening belongs to your organization—not to a generic routine.

  • Tell Kevin what you’re putting on

    Call or text with your date, location, expected length, event format, and the crowd you expect. Share the major moments you know so far and the best day-of contact.

  • Share your goals and audience

    Explain what attendees should understand and how you want them connected to the action. Discuss the welcomes, announcements, introductions, transitions, and updates Kevin would lead, along with names, terminology, and required wording.

  • Discuss availability and event logistics

    Check Kevin’s availability and whether his style suits your format and crowd. Talk through equipment, production, travel, fees, and booking details, and identify who owns rules, safety, officiating, commentary, or competition direction.

Practical answers

What specialty events does Kevin host?
Kevin hosts car shows, skijoring, arena events, grass drags, snowmobile racing, and other format-led gatherings. These specific examples are not a promise that every format, responsibility, date, or location will fit. Start with the role you need.
What can Kevin do on the microphone?
Kevin can welcome the crowd, make agreed announcements, introduce speakers, participants, guests, or planned segments, move the audience between agreed moments, give planned updates, and use supplied event language. The organizer and Kevin should define the exact lane before booking rather than relying on a generic host description.
What does representing our event mean in practice?
It means learning the organization’s purpose, what the crowd needs to understand, the format’s language, and the moments that deserve attention. Give Kevin names, pronunciations, required acknowledgments, must-cover points, and boundaries.
Do we need a complete run of show before contacting Kevin?
No. A date, location, event format, audience, purpose, and list of major moments are enough to start. Share any schedule, names, required announcements, or specialized terms already available. Mark changing details clearly so the first conversation can identify what must be settled before the role is confirmed.
How far ahead should we reach out?
Ask Kevin directly because lead time and availability may depend on the date, format, preparation, and requested scope. Contacting him earlier can create room for discussion, but reaching out never guarantees that a date is open or reserved.
Can Kevin provide equipment, production, rules, safety, commentary, or competition direction?
Those responsibilities are not assumed. Explain the exact equipment, technical production, rules, safety, commentary, official, or competition-direction need and identify who currently owns it. Ask Kevin directly whether any requested responsibility fits, then document the agreed scope. Hosting alone does not imply technical or operational control.
