Keith Kenny
Guitar Slinging since eleven
years old , I was originally turned on to music from jamming
on two chords with my dad. Improvisation and playing by feel
was always the natural way for me to play, even when I was
younger. When I got into middle school, I would only listen
to heavy metal. I loved fast guitar riffs and ripping solos.
I grew up on OLD Metallica, Pantera, Sabbath, and Iron Maiden.
Metal was a great way for me to learn how to play fast, but
as I went through high school I began to appreciate more
melodic music such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, MICHAEL HEDGES,
CSNY, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Tool. This new plethora of influences
changed my style of playing to a more rhythmic, bluesy, slap
happy style of playing. I've been writing in this style of
music since Senior Year in high school, when I released a
single entitled "Nothing more than you." Throughout
the years I've put together a good albums worth of music.
I don't like to write in one style. I don't like to write
in one tuning. I'd like for people to listen to the feel
and energy that is put into the music rather than just a
category. Right now I'm working to get as many shows lined
up as possible and plan to start recording a full length
album in the Fall. Stay tuned for further updates and new
music.
