About Me



Ian KENT is an American songwriter/musician from upstate New York. Following in the footsteps of woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac, Ian hitchhiked across the USA a few times before moving to Paris in the 1990s where he still lives today.

His raspy voice, guitar and knowledge of American music made him a choice singer for a number of bands, including Blackstone, whose third album is coming out in May.

Trick Bag, Ian KENT's first solo album features thirteen original songs and one cover and offers a mixture of folk, soul, rock and country music. Ian sings, writes lyrics and music, plays guitar, slide guitar and mandolin. Bass, drums and additional sounds are provided by Kent's band, The Immigrants.

Ian Kent & The Immigrants' first album, Trick Bag, now available on line at horizon-music.com
