About Me
MORE songs/bio/video @ www.kennysoule.com......NYC-based drummer Kenny Soule brings a groove steeped in James Brown, British Invasion, Motown, Stax, Psychedelia, some 70’s Fusion and early AC/DC. Originally from New Britain, CT, Kenny spent the majority of his years in Raleigh, NC, where he established himself as a rock-solid and soulful player.While pursuing a major in Percussion Performance at East Carolina University in the early 70s, he joined local rock faves NANTUCKET and toured the Southeast club circuit for years before signing with Epic and releasing three albums. NANTUCKET quickly became a familiar face on the arena circuit, opening coast to coast for most of the major acts of the era, including Kiss, Foreigner, Boston, Cheap Trick and AC/DC.In the 80’s, Kenny formed power trio PKM to much regional acclaim. The group recorded one album distributed by Polygram.During the 90’s, Kenny brought his funky R&B stylings to the masses with DAG, a combo initially formed by visionary producer/songwriter John Custer. DAG released two critically acclaimed albums on Columbia/Sony, produced four music videos, and toured the US and Europe relentlessly.At the turn of the century, Kenny re-established himself in New York City. In 2009 he's contributing his skills (including background vocal harmonies) to several great artists, including GO THERE w/ Scott Sawyer, MARY McBRIDE, CARL BURNETT, SUBTONE w/ Rob Chaseman, DEMOLITION STRING BAND, DAVE FIELDS, CHIP ROBINSON, RAINBOW FRESH, and PATTY'S PREDICAMENT. Drawing on his rich legacy of rock and soul, he is constantly refining his craft across a variety of genres, including country, Americana, jazz and blues.Kenny is a proud endorser of Paiste cymbals, Sonor drums, Pro Mark sticks and Aquarian drumheads.
