About
I am a singer/songwriter that performs a variety of styles and genres from Americana, Roots-Rock, Country, and Originals. My set up is vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonicas, and a unique foot-drum, so I am basically a one-man-band. I am available for restaurants/clubs, festivals/conventions, private parties/corporate events, and weddings/receptions.
I have been performing at venues and private functions since the mid 1980's and would love the opportunity to play some music for your event.

Everyone really enjoyed Kenny’s musical talents. He had the right mix of music for our crowd, it was loud enough to be enjoyed while we could still carry on conversations with our neighbors. He was extremely easy to work with, and very accommodating of all of our needs. He responded very quickly, showed up on time, and did a great job. We would definitely hire him again.

Kenny played for a 50th Birthday party and brought Danni, his female singer, and they were great! He asked for a set list and played the songs we requested as well as many others! Everyone at the party raved at how great they were, truly a blast! Kenny was so easy to communicate with, very prompt and professional. I would highly recommend Kenny and Danni for you next party entertainment!

Kenny made my simple ceremony magical with his acoustic melodies. I requested a specific song to walk down the aisle to and he and his songstress made our day very magical! I'd book Altered roots again for any special occasion.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our fees start at $250 for solo and $400 for duo.
Depending on the individual request, fees will either be lower, or higher based on several factors such as travel time and duration of service.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once we have agreed to work together and I am marked as booked here on the site, we continue our conversations through email and text messages to iron out all the details of the performance such as set up/tear down times, contracts (if needed), song requests, etc.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in and around the live music business for over 30 years. I have performed as a solo artist, a duo and in several full bands in Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia and Florida.
