I'd say somewhere in between pat green, jack ingram, and pete benz. Or maybe the average of the 3.

Edit: I didn't realize how wrong I was - he's way over them.

Re-edit: I was right. He's in the same realm as pat green, jack ingram, etc as far as net worth. I think he's known more for his songs being used by headliners.

His net worth is 85 million. He's Bad Blake. Everybody uses his songs.

Wtf??? Seriously?? Kevin Fowler is worth that much???

Curious where the 85 mill came from. A brief Google search of country music net worth puts Tim McGraw at 85 mill, Blake Shelton at 60 and Dwight Yoakum at 45. Kevin Fowler being worth as much as Tim McGraw and twice as much as Dwight seems hard to believe.

Edit-here's a more recent list. I find it extremely hard to believe Kevin Fowler is worth more than Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr combined.

yeah, I think that's wrong. It was the first site in google search. Others say around 3 million. Pat Green, Jack Ingram, Cory Morrow money

For a guy who only sings 3 notes, he's done pretty well for himself.

Looks like he was a guitarist in the band for a couple years in the early 90s. Wasn't an original member and isn't on any of the albums.

Teas'n and Pleas'n still puts a smile on my face.

I went down that music rabbit years ago. When I realized he wa slow only a replacement as far as Teas'n Pleas'n and Scared went, he lost any credibility as a member of Dangerous Toys.

I consider him a sideshow. And a serious waste of talent. His repeated appearances while totally intoxicated have turned me off as a fan.

Fan on my end. Catchy stuff. Always seemed like a blend of texas country and 90s country / Nashville country. He doesn't fit the texas country scene. His stuff holds up well as far as I'm concerned.

His voice annoys me and the songs that I know seem pretty gimmicky for the most part.

Nope. Don't listen to any new country, "brah" or otherwise.

Sorry I don't care for Kevin Fowler. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. It wasn't personal.

Kevin is a first class entertainer and showman. His vocals are meant for a certain audience and there are a lot of Texans in those audiences. His wealth is modest compared to some but he is in demand and making plenty. You may be interested to know that his entire band and crew are not paid by the show but are on salary, with insurance and other benefits. During the down year of Covid, Kevin sold off some of his properties to keep each member of his organization employed.

If you are not into his brand that is fine but don't underestimate his talent to entertain.

I don't think his voice very good, pretty terrible really, but he really does have alot more songs that I like than I don't and puts on pretty good live show. He's also a an advocate for Texas country and seems to genuinely love what he does and the other artists in the scene kind of look at him as an elder statesman and promoter of the genre.

Here are a few of my favorites

Saw him two weeks ago opening for Cody Johnson and he put on a helluva show. Been to a ton of his shows and always had a good time.
