Brian J. Kenny and Friends - Live at the Fireside in Alameda - 12/19 @ 8PM

12/19: The first night of two evenings of great music featuring Brian J. Kenny, Chuck Michniak, Shawn C Grassman, Tom Wismar, Kevin Kenny, Hana Yoon, Tony Paskins, Sarah Kennedy, Denis Kenny, and possibly more.

Brian J. Kenny is a compulsive writer and his music and his perspective are the result of his life: the city boy growing up in the country, the country boy living in the city, the hayseed populist turned Greek and Roman archaeologist existing in the effete world of the academe, the humanist working as a computer scientist, the scientist working as a writer, the writer working as a laborer, a farmer, an award-winning olive oil producer, the manager of a grass-fed beef division for a major privately-held media company, the Historian, Art Historian and Archivist, the wanderer happily settling down with his beloved wife Hana, and their two children.

He has recorded 28 albums for Country Tick Records since 1997. Kenny has performed in Europe, Asia, and the USA. He has played in wine cellars and in mines, and he has played in a jet at 45,000 feet. He was the opening act for the Holmes Brothers in 2004 and has been featured on NPR. Brian J. Kenny currently resides in the California Republic.

Samples of Brian’s music can be found on his YouTube channel or his website:
