Kenny grew up in Rutherford, New Jersey and at age 11 moved
to Eureka, Montana. He's been in Northwest Montana ever since.
He has been working in the Ag business for 26 years.
At 21 years old, Kenny traded his motorcycle for a guitar and
also got lessons from the gent. He taught him to play
'Sweet Home Alabama' and Kenny was hooked deeply ever since.
He began to write and sing his own lyrics and has become a
Master Blues Writer. He prefers to play and sing Rockin Blues
and mostly original music. He now co-writes with a Cool Gent,
Cliff Purcell.
Kenny formed and has been playing with the Blue Onion Band,
here in the Northwest Region of Montana, for the past 11 years.
You can visit them at BlueOnionBand.com.
The Blue Onion Band has performed on some very worthy stages
at Blues Fests and Rock Fests throughout the Northwest. They
have performed at 'Rockin The Rivers' for the past 6 years
(rockintherivers.net) on the same stage with bands from
Alice Cooper to Marshall Tucker Band. They have recorded
several CDs that get air play on the local NW Blues Stations
and are well known in the local area.
Recently, Kenny joined forces with Drummer, Mark Miller, from
Big Daddy & The Blue Notes, and Bassist, Mark Cornett, from
20 Grand and Moonshine Mountain, who plays a 6-string bass.
They have 70 years of combined Rockin Blues experience!
Kenny also plays with a Worship Team at Whitefish Church of
the Nazarene. All this is in his 'spare time.'
Kenny's main influences come from Lead Guitarists,
Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Gary Moore, Warren Haynes from the
Allman Brothers and Government Mule, Robin Trower and of
course, the late, great, Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Some say you can almost see the neck of Kenny's guitar bend
as he plays and sustains some heavy Blues Notes.................
He hopes to open his own ROCKIN BLUES COFFEE HOUSE in
downtown Kalispell, Montana and once it's open he looks
forward to playin the Blues for you!
In the meantime, keep checking the schedule and come see
Kenny sing & play some heavy guitar and Rockin Blues with the
Kenny James Miller Band at their next booking!
