Kentucky

Kentucky, the musical project of Canadian artist Jordan Holman, is emerging like a quiet signal cutting through late-night static. His songs—a quicksilver blend of acoustic rock, indie folk, and subtle ’90s alternative glow—carry stories shaped by extremes: from near-death hushes to the hard-won hope of second chances. Influences like The Tragically Hip, Neil Young, R.E.M., and Peter Gabriel whisper in his ear, but it’s Holman’s own voice—an unwavering tenor wrapped around each thoughtful chord—that draws listeners closer. Having performed over 100 times across Ontario, Quebec, and his birthplace of Edmonton, Alberta, Kentucky’s music takes on a living presence in these spaces, forging connections at once both intimate and universal. His forthcoming debut album, Second Chance Music, distills this experience into a testament of resilience and renewal, and reminds us that sometimes a song is all it takes to guide us back to the light.
