North Georgia’s Jason Kenney (Corey Smith, Dappled Grays, HomeGrown Revival) is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who has been playing music professionally for eight years. He has put out three full length albums and collaborated on many others including Corey Smith's "In The Mood" and "The Good Life". For his latest project, he teamed up with the legendary fiddler David Blackmon formerly of Widespread Panic and Jerry Reed. In March of 2012, they released their first album as The Kenney-Blackmon String Band entitled "The Singing Tree" which was recorded and produced by John Keane (R.E.M., Indigo Girls, Widespread Panic, Taj Mahal).
"Kenney offers compelling and uplifting original songs, and is a quadruple threat on guitar, mandolin, banjo, and vocals. Jason's contributions are sweet melodic songs straight from the heart. Standout tracks “I’ll Follow You” and “Long Way From God” exude a passion deeply felt. A prolific writer and former nationally touring guitarist with Corey Smith, these are recently written numbers which pull the listener into sadness and back out again. Bright even amidst the darkness, Kenney offers a genuineness and authenticity rarely seen or heard in today’s music." - Taken from a review from Cowboy Angel Music (www.cowboyangelmusic.com)
When Jason isn't touring, he teaches private lessons and is involved with the Appalachian Studies program "Pick and Bow' at North Georgia College and State University.
