Kenny called Joplin, Missouri home before he packed his life into a suitcase (and an Oldsmobile Cutlass) and went to seek his fortune in Nashville, Tennessee. A modern day “Eastern Pioneer”, Kenny says it was the journey of living in and around Nashville that caused him to “grow up all over again.” As an intern at Sony Records Nashville, a glorified carnival worker for Country Music Television, a blueprint librarian, a host of CMT’s “Wide Open Country”, a temp worker, and a "hair colorist" for Sheryl Crow, he says he’s learned and seen things that would cause any man to question his own sanity. After a flooded wedding, an embargoed honeymoon, a night in a Greek hospital, and the tornado that ravaged his hometown, he says he learned a few things about what’s important, and what a “bad day” really looks like. He’s repelled into canyons, jumped out of planes, hitchhiked Europe, and all of it on a budget that would make a shoestring look pretty pricey. He throws pots, grills meat, plays soccer, and loves him some Xbox… just don’t ask him to paint. He’s a story-teller, and having seen a whole lot of life already, he has quite a few to tell. “The people doing the difficult work of this life rarely get the credit they deserve. Whether they’re a long way from home, or outsiders in their own, there are a whole lot of stories to tell. And every one of them has magic in it. You just have to find it.”
