Recording

Working on an album currently. Have been finalizing songs and my track list for the upcoming album titled Pacific. This has been a long time in the making. The best come to those who wait, so barring any unforeseen circumstances I will be releasing it sometime in 2026. 

Reviews

During the recording process

During the process of recording, I've had some pretty cool cats that are playing on it write me some nice reviews. Here they are below:

Paul Santo (Grammy Award winning guitarist - played with Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton) “ Kenny, thanks for handing me such a cool song to work on, if we can call playing guitar ”working":) Great communication and attention to detail, too." 

Graham Hopkins (Drummer for Dolores O'Riordan - Cranberries, Snow Patrol, Glen Hansard) “It was my first time to play drums on one of Kenny's songs and it was an absolute musical pleasure. Kenny is so patient and easy to work alongside. Five stars without doubt!” 

Tommy MacDonald (Bassist for Brooks and Dunn, David Lee Murphy, George Thorogood) “Kenny is a great singer, songwriter and producer. I absolutely enjoy working with him.  A true gentleman. His songwriting is stellar, and his songs are very catchy pop/rock. Keep an eye out for this talented guy. Thanks again for having me. He has such a rich, creative vision for songwriting. Perfect ideas and song form."

Matt Stanfield (Keys for Keith Urban, Kelly Clarkson, Josh Groban, Norah Jones, Thomas Rhett) "Great Experience! Kenny was easy to work with, and his comments/notes were definitive and easy to follow. The tracks sounded great and were in good technical shape. Would work with again with zero hesitation." 

Roland Gjernes (Cello for the touring version of the musical play Hamilton) "Kenny was great to work with. Great communication, and gave me everything I needed to produce a great recording. I had a blast working on this! Definitely looking forward to the next project."

 

 

Vocal Challenges 

I think the hardest part of being a musician and waiting so long is mother nature. By that, I have been waiting twenty years to record an album. I have recorded songs, gotten better, yet…

Recently however, I have been having some massive issues with my vocals. I had an issue where I prayed to the porcelain God and my vocals haven't been the same since. I've gargled with salt water, drank tea, limited alcohol consumption… everything. I've been in the studio this week and have been told that my vocals weren't up to snuff. If anyone knows me knows that I pride myself on my vocals. This was a definite knock to my ego. I will continue to try and push forward and hope that I can sing more than one album's worth of material. Mother nature/God/The universe… please be kind! I need my vocals back.
