Kevin Crawford is a flute, tin whistle and bodhrán player. Born on 1967-12-06 in Birmingham, England to Irish parents who immigrated from Miltown Malbay, County Clare. He later moved to West Clare to improve his music and become more exposed to traditional Irish music.

After recording and co-producing what he described as his most "traditional" CD with "Grianán," a group including Siobhán and Tommy Peoples, Niamh De Burca, P.J. King, Martin Murray, Paul McSherry, John Maloney, and Pat Marsh (released in 1993), Crawford joined "Moving Cloud" in 1993 and then "Lúnasa" in 1998 replacing Michael McGoldrick. Crawford has evolved into becoming the "frontman" for Lunasa during their live performances, due to his engaging personality and dry sense of humor along with his superb musicianship.
