"kenny simeone guitarist"

KENNY SIMEONE is a Marin County, California native and someone worth keeping in mind. Along the lines of other songwriters on this page (Michael Woody, Gretchen Peters), Kenny has been recognized in songwriting competitions, most notably by the judges for the annual VH1 Song of the Year competition, who voted him a talent to watch. Kenny ventured to Nashville in October and December to prepare marketing materials, including demos.

Kenny has been playing around the Bay Area for some time with long-time friend Sony recording artist Dan Thompson, formerly of Protein. He lists Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Radiohead, Terence Trent Darby, B.B. king, Al Green, BluesTraveler, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Led Zeppelin as influences. So why Nashville, you may ask. Well, because he has been recruited by Paramount's Nashville group.

Kenny is a guy whose focus has switched from being a blues-rock lead guitarist to an acoustic based songwriter, and songwriters listening to his MP3s below will feel the sculptor and the clay. Kenny is playing every instrument and doing all the vocals, and he tends toward the ambitious. His songs range from down to earth indie-sounding country-rock to more orchestral space-rock ala Pink Floyd. I may find him better in the latter mode, but the former may have greater commercial songwriter portability.

Kenny is a young guy with experience, having opened or shared a stage with the likes of Little Feat, 2005 Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame inductee Buddy Guy, Quicksilver Messenger, Merl Saunders, Derek Trucks (Allman Brothers), Martin Fiero (occasional sax man for the Grateful Dead), and Bay Area guitar knight Neil Schon (Journey). - rarewriter.com
