Live Music

Kenny Rose is a singer/songwriter from a little town in Michigan called Union Lake. He worked at his family car business as he and his bride raised their 4 children. Though the business was good to them, he always had the dream of some day playing music for a living. That dream came true in 2004 when they sold the business and Kenny and Tammy moved to Florida’s gulf coast, settling in another little town called Englewood. He has been “living the dream” ever since and his songwriting reflects that lifestyle.

His first C.D. “Take A Chance” was released in 2004. The music on this all original C.D. was more in the pop contemporary feel. As he began living in Florida his songs took on a much more Trop Rock feel, and his second C.D. “Sunshine State of Mind” released in April 2010 certainly reflects that. All but one of the tracks are original compositions, and his songs “Driving Down Here is Driving me to Drinking” and “The Grandparent’s Song” have become staples in the area. He also has had 3 of his songs in a motion picture that was available on Amazon prime for a few years.

Kenny’s shows can be very interactive if the crowd is right for it, handing out percussion instruments and getting everyone to sing along is his favorite thing to do. He has an over 300 song repertoire and he hands out books so the crowd can see what he plays and ask for requests. He doesn’t use any backing tracks or pre recorded music, so he can be spontaneous and go wherever the crowd wants him to go! His mic and guitar are wireless so he is free to roam around and get  everyone involved. He is enjoying his musical life and plays 5 to 7 shows a week in the Englewood and Venice area, playing mostly covers of 60’s and 70’s songs, however with 300 songs you can be sure he has a few from most era’s that you’ll know. Known as one of the “hardest working musicians in town” Kenny just laughs and says “I play music, keyword is PLAY.”

Playing the songs of some of the world's best singer-songwriters for almost 40 years, Paul has been able to take all of those influences and develop his own particular songwriting style. Not one to make things up, most of his songs are based - at least somewhat - in true life experiences of the things he's done and the people he's known.

As the vocal front-man for several country bands in the 80's and 90's, and later for the highly successful Trop-Rock bands PHINS (winners of the 2008 Trop-Rock Horizon Award) and the 12 Volt Band, Paul decided in 2010 that it was time to venture out on his own, where he would have the opportunity to tell his stories his way, in his own time.

After a career move put him in Florida in 2011, he has made the move to playing
his music full time, performing solo shows and house concerts at venues all around
south Florida. He has also taken his shows on the road to the Florida panhandle,
Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, Southern California, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Mississippi, Washington, and Michigan, as well as annual visits to perform in San
Pedro, Belize.
