Guitarist Kenny Hill

Born in the city of Detroit, Kenny Hill first hit the music scene with his original hard rock/heavy metal band Rif Raf which toured locally and released a demo, an ep and 2 original albums, and would later go on to be called The Raff or simply RAF. RAF released a 5 song ep. After RAF, Kenny continued working in the same genre but was attempting to expand into other genres and styles, becoming more and more acquainted with the many amazing players and composers. Kenny then joined Halloween and spent the next 2 years touring and performing in support of Halloween's release at the time "No One Gets Out" Kenny also turned down an audition with the Red Hot Chili Peppers after the death of their first guitarist. After an audition for a newly reforming Blackfoot, Kenny was first choice forback-up guitarist to rock legend Ricky Medlocke, but Ricky was invited to rejoin Lynyrd Skynyrd and certainly did. Kenny, being self taught and completely musically illiterate up to this point (other than the notes that he was playing) he found improvisation very eluding if not impossible. It was after 11 years of playing completely by ear, but still writing and performing at a no less than professional level, that he sought to further his musical education and began to study with legendary Detroit fusion guitarist Mikhal Caldwell, who would become a great and entrusted friend and inspiration. Mikhal taught Kenny basic theory and in essence, how to continue to teach himself, which led to Kenny finally becoming musically literate, and as a by product, Kenny is now a very sought after guitar teacher. Kenny also took a semester of Music Composition at Marygrove College while forming the jazz, blues, fusion, rock trio Kenny Hill and the Bottom Line. They released a 3 song instrumental ep, which later was offered in 2 extended versions. One containing 5 songs, all composed by Kenny Hill, and 1 which had 7 songs, the 2 additional songs being penned by his band mates at the time. Kenny spent an extensive amount of time involved in outreach ministries which saw him performing and recording Bluegrass Gospel standards. After the ministry, Kenny put together Life In General, a progressive, original, alternative rock band with his brother PaulE"SMASH" Cobb, which later evolved into Mansfield Park. NEURO SONIC , also an original project which saw the release of one 3 song EP entitled "DRIVE" was the precursor to Kenny's current and latest endeavor, which is "The Kenny Hill Group" .
