Brief Description
Kenny's original vocal styling makes him stand out above the rest.
History/Biography
Nashville Recording Artist Kenny Brannan was born in Rising Star, Texas but who could have known that the boy from Rising Star would later become a RISING STAR!! Kenny is an awesome Country Singer, Songwriter and Lead Guitarist. He has a dynamic and energetic sound driving home both Traditional and New Country Music with attitude! He is received at each and every performance with a warm and powerful reception. Young and old alike just absolutely love Kenny's style of Country Music!!!
Kenny Brannan will definitely catch your attention all the way from his up-beat style Traditional Country to his Slow Heartfelt Ballads. Kenny's music is an extenstion of his heart and soul. Playing his music very well expressing his emotions in a way that makes others feel what he is relaying in his music as if it were the audiences feelings. Kenny's music will leave you captivated with each and every performance and leave you speechless when he stops.
We are very excited about Kenny's future in the Music Industry and introducing this very talented young man to the world. Kenny's guitar skills are nothing short of amazing. The channel running from his heart to his fingers is wide open for the world to hear. We and others have noticed an almost haunting sound when he plays guitar to the ballads he sings and also wonder if he has an extra set of hands on the strings of his guitar with the many beautiful notes he brings out when he plays. We realize that anyone who loves fine country guitar work owes it to themselves to go hear Kenny play! Kenny's vocals are truly a mirror to his soul. His vocal styling is truly unique. It's been said his voice is haunting, totally different from anyone else and once you hear his voice you don't forget it, It sticks with you!!
Musicians who have toured for over twenty-five years or more and has played with some of the great legends in this business can safely say that Kenny Brannan is one of the finest Country Artist that they have ever known. We also feel that Kenny's writing is not just more of the same. Today's country music for the most part so closely resembles the soft rock love songs of the '70's with steel guitar and fiddle added. Kenny Brannan's songs are truly country music and are a credit to the Traditions started by the great ones who are sadly leaving us now! You can look for great things from this young man in the near future!!!!!
I have traveled over the U.S. I Love it! All the gigs are pretty specials in one way or the other. Most importantly are the fans I make along the way. Kenny is going to be touring overseas in three months. Kenny's song "You're Already Gone" Hit #60 on the Norway Top Artist Charts in June 2005.
Kenny Brannan has been singing since he was around four years old and has been playing lead guitar professionally since the age of 17.
Kenny just recorded his latest singles "Just One More Lie" which is beautifully done and a dynamite version of a classic hit called "A - Eleven," and "Hole In The Wall" these three songs are awesome and are already getting great reviews. They have just been sent to radio stations mainly in Texas but also in Oklahoma, New Mexico amoung other places. Kenny recorded these three songs at Woodland Studio in Pittsburg, Kansas with Phil Ward as the engineer, which by the way is just awesome, and Kenny Brannan and Gene Strasser as the producers.
Kenny recorded two songs "You're Already Gone" and "Time Stands Still in Here", with Southern Drive that has also recieved quite abit of airplay even though that recording, though great, was done in the drummers living room in Wentworth, Missouri. Kenny has also recorded some of his original songs in Nashville as well as other places.
Kenny has also won some awards such as Silver Heart Award 1998 Instrumentalist of the year and Silver Heart Award 1998 band of the year. Kenny won the Miller lite Rising Star challenge in 2000.
Kenny has also recieved quite a bit of airplay overseas and here in the states.
So many have influenced my music but I would have to say Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, George Strait, and Hwy 101 where the ones who influenced my music the most. Being a songwriter and singer Country music is a way of expressing in a story the happenings in your life or others lives. |
