About Me

________________Sleeping on the Grass

Add to My Profile | More Videos.....Hi and welcome to my page. I'm a singer/songwriter and I was born and raised in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I've been performing as a solo artist since the year 2002, playing my originals like the ones you hear on my page, and also over 80 cover songs. You can see the cover list-I have it posted as a blog here on my page. Check out all my blogs and read some of the fantastic things that have happened to me in my lfe. I started out as a solo performer, and as of June 2007 I have joined a band. I've redone my page to the way you see it now. In the beginning, my show name was Kenny and the 14th floor, but when we became a full band in June we found out that the name "the 14th floor" was already taken, so we have to come up with a new name, and the nam is (The 18th Floor.) My page here on myspace had a background picture logo of the 14th floor, so this is my new look, and now it..s just a personnel profile of me and my music. I hope you enjoy my songs and have fun here on my page, keep up to date on my shows by checking in on the show date. I'm always updating them, hoping to see you at one of my gigs; they're always a great time, and make sure you don’t leave without introducing yourself so I know who you are when I see you here on my page. Leave me a comment, say Hi and I will see you soon - Kenny ............................................................ ............................................................ ............ So that a little bit about me, I'm just a down to earth kind of guy. I love God and that's why I got into music, but that's a hole other story, and I'd like to tell you about it some day. I love life, people and animals too. .. So I quit smoking in Jan, 2005, and I'm so happy I did, maybe once a year I may have a drink, but that's about it. ... . Also I do some volunteering for out of the cold programs in my city, there a lot, of homelessness and a lot of people need help. ....So anyways I'm a Leo, I'm single, I don t do drugs, I spend most of my time writing songs and playing open mics...I like making new friends, and I want to share my music with the world, so if you like my songs tell your friends, pass it on.

Sounds Like:............................Review by Pauling cote To set the scene of my words... music is EVERYTHING to me.... *EVERYTHING*. As a budding music producer, I listen to every note and always with the best headphones so that I don't miss a single sound. Add to that, I'm very particular about my rock and nothing seems ever to measure up to the thousands of hours I've vegetated to the extraordinary sounds of Pink Floyd.Allow me to re-count the experience of hearing the song I'LL BE GOOD… I gear up with headphones and plan to multi-task while it plays (as I multi-task through everything in life -- smile). But the song quickly captures my undivided attention. I am compelled to lean back, eyes closed, and savour the experience. As it plays on, I'm waiting for the romance to end, as often does with indie artists. But the romance continues! The song seduces my senses into a sonic escape that removes me from dull circumstances. I feel like I'm 18 again and vegging out to the sounds of Floyd. This is REALLY GOOD STUFF, I think to myself. The picture of a guy with acoustic guitar is deceptive because this is a REALLY *BIG* SOUND!! How many members in that band, I wonder. The drummer hits forcefully like Bonzo. The female vocals are beautiful and soothing. Man this is REALLY GOOD! The lyrics are commanding too; a sensitive part of my spirit is touched as I contemplate those words. Then I check to see how much time is left. It's a great experience and I'm not anxious for it to end. Oh, good, it's a long song! And then I sink back into the escape of it all. It sounds original but reminds me of Pink Floyd in all the best ways. It has the power to provide escape - that was always the gift of Floyd. This song has that power too. It is forceful and gentle at the same time. Crashing, yet soothing.Thanks for that experience. Please extend my kudos to the rest of your band and feel free to quote me as often as you like.Your music is amazing and I'll continue to explore it in a manner that allows it to be savoured one song at a time.Cheers!
