With his soaring vocals, ringing guitar and a laid back southern charm, Kenny Holcomb''s Midwestern roots shine on stage as in the studio. Even the most critical ears will delight in some of the best written and produced country music on the net, or anywhere, for that matter. Beyond the ordinary storytelling tradition, his rousing choruses are sung with a refreshing, triumphant emotion. Honest songs about livin'', lovin'' and workin'' hard, his songs pull at the heartstrings that will put a grin on your face and a twinkle in your eye. Kenny was born on a naval base in the Philippines and raised in Colorado and Maryland, in the summer, his family would go back home to the hills, in the Ozarks, to visit the relations.
Kenny began playing guitar at about the age of 8 or 9, when his father bought him his first guitar. He learned to sing and play Hank Williams and Johnny Cash songs, before he knew rock and roll existed. He started his own band when He was 16. He also studied classical guitar and music theory at chambers school of music. Drawing on the experience of studio giants as Ron Stewart (Lynn Morris band), Casey O''Neill (Colleen Shanley band) and Jim Robison (Mary Chapin Carpenter) to reflect Kenny''s respect for the songs and songwriting "It''s a great way to express myself and a lot of fun to try to come up with cool ideas for songs". Kenny is a member of the Baltimore Songwriters Association and a member of the Washington Area Music Association. Kenny''s CD, Blue Texas Sky is the next best thing to hearing him live.
