About All Access Live

How did this come to be?

I’m Kevin Rankin, and on All Access Live I open the doors to the stories behind the spotlight—whether it’s chart-topping musicians, Academy Award–winning actors, or bestselling authors. You’ll join me for unscripted, behind-the-scenes conversations that reveal the creative process, personal triumphs, and candid laughs you won’t find anywhere else. If you crave authenticity, insider anecdotes, and real human connection, this is where you belong—so please subscribe and let’s take this journey together.

The Mission

I started All Access Live because I believe every artist has a tale worth telling—and the richest, most revealing moments happen off-camera. As someone who has spent life touring and recording in the music industry, I know that the best stories aren’t in the press releases—they’re in the moments of spontaneity. That’s why my promise is simple: no filters, no fluff, just genuine in–depth conversations that bring you closer to the creative minds behind your favorite music, films, and other creative endeavours.

You’ll Experience

Candid Conversations: I ask the questions everyone’s thinking but no one’s asking—about inspiration, moments of doubt, and the unexpected detours that shaped a career.

Exclusive Sneak Peeks: From hanging out with bands in the studio to getting a first look at pages from an author’s work in progress, you’ll see the creative process unfold in real time.

Unscripted Laughter and Humanity: These aren’t polished press junkets. You’ll hear artists crack jokes, share embarrassing stories, and reveal the quirks that make them human.

About Me

Performing professionally since 16, Kevin began honing his skills in the ski resort bars of Montana. He spent several nights a week in smoky taverns, learning the ropes of the live music business. Maintaining that schedule through college, Kevin also recorded and performed with dozens of bands, and received his BS in Sociology with a Music Studio Teaching option minor at Montana State University.

Moving from Bozeman, MT to Portland, OR in 1994, Kevin found a solid base of music performance and touring in the Northwest U.S.. He has been a member of, and has performed/toured with a series of internationally successful bands, including guitar phenom Jennifer Batten, Eddie Martinez, Missing Persons, Nu Shooz, Tommy Tutone, and Mike Skill (The Romantics).

From 2002-2017, Kevin held down the drum chair for the 80s pop sensation band Animotion, best known for their hits “Obsession” and “Room to Move”. In 2016, Kevin joined the 80s powerhouse A Flock of Seagulls, and continues to tour the world with them. On October 8, 2022, Kevin was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall Of Fame.
