Description

Kenny is a solo acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter from Liverpool, England. Kenny has played music all over the world - from parties/restaurants in Liverpool and London to the South of France to the Caribbean where he also worked on Yachts and played music for guests. His acoustic music of classic rock/contemporary folk, gentle voice, fingerpicking guitar style is reminiscent of Paul Simon and James Taylor and sounds like two guitars! He provides a coffee house atmosphere with stories and audience participation delighting guests with much more than great musicianship.

Kenny plays weddings (including music learned at the request of clients as well as instrumentals for ceremonies), anniversaries, art shows, outdoor festivals, Irish Taverns, restaurants and solo Beatles Tribute regularly from Baltimore's Inner Harbor to the NJ State fair, shows in NYC and beyond. In Meyersville, NJ restaurant pub owner Cheryl has said, "He has something for everybody".

As an added bonus, Kenny will DJ for those who need this for special events!

Feedback

  • Kenny was fantastic! Very professional and talented. Lots of positive feedback from guests. We loved Kenny. -- Daniel C, Hamilton Square, NJ, 9/23/2007
  • Kenny kicked off the first in a series of coffee houses in our synagogue and proved himself to be a real crowd-pleaser. In addition to his playing and singing, the audience enjoyed his anecdotes between songs. A keeper! -- Debra L, Fairfield, CT, 9/1/2007
  • Kenny was wonderful! He offered to learn songs that I liked for my wedding ceremony, never complained or said no to special requests, and arrived early and stayed late. He was professional and a great musician. -- Carrie I, Middletown, CT, 8/10/2007
  • Kenny Cunningham played at our private party on Aug 26 06. He and his booking manager made the whole booking process extremely simple and pleasurable. He was prompt, friendly, very talented, with a great set list, witty repartee and just an overall charming demeanor. I have lost count of the number of compliments we received on his behalf. We highly recommend this artist and will definitely be hiring him again. Jane Golden -- Jane G, Summit, NJ, 8/26/2006
  • He was great! He made our party. -- Deana L, Whitehouse Station, NJ, 7/29/2006
