Excerpt from Kenny’s bio:

“Whatever the metaphors used to describe his artistry, there is no denying that Kenny Roby is an under-appreciated American treasure.  He is a singer/songwriter with an abundance of gifts. Not the least of which is his ability to draw listeners into his world with disarming ease.”

Kenny’s musical career started by fronting a punk rock band that opened for the Suicidal Tendencies, Circle Jerks, Danzig, and Jane’s Addiction while he was in high school!   From there, he formed a band in North Carolina called Six String Drag that ruled the alt-country scene in the Carolinas in the mid to late 90’s alongside Whiskeytown and Son Volt.  During that run, he picked up a legion of well respected musicians as fans.  Steve Earle produced the bands debut album in 1997.   Patterson Hood of the Drive by Truckers and Citizen Cope also consider themselves big fans of Kenny’s music.  When Six String Drag disbanded in 1998, Kenny began releasing solo albums. His latest being the self-titled Kenny Roby that was just released on August 5th.

Kenny put on an incredible show. Super personable with his own unique storytelling style that was both funny and engaging. He had a way with the animals as they seemed to sense he was a special soul. We sure hope to host another show with Kenny in the future.

This was a dinner show and we need to get better about estimating quantities. We served carnitas and gave people the option to use a tortilla or a bed of lettuce. We offered Mexican cauliflower as a vegetarian option. The tomatoes pictured were part of the largest bowl of pico de gallo this side of the Mexico.
