KENNY RICHARDS
Two things in my life have been constant – music and travel.
Growing up with a parent who worked at an airline meant that we were always on the go. Flying to exotic destinations, family camping trips, or just taking endless road trips was ‘the norm’ when I was young – so it was an easy transition to bring the wanderlust lifestyle with me into adulthood. Learning to fly – and becoming an airline pilot – helped me to scratch the constant itch to travel. As a pilot, I was always looking down from 35,000 feet at new places to visit. Long road trips, sailing through the Caribbean in my sailboat, and playing my guitar and singing to an audience – well . . . it’s not a bad way to live!
My love for music also began very early for me. My father’s legendary record collection – mostly 60’s folk, country, and rock – set in motion a passion for music that has defined me in many ways. The Beach Boys attended the high school that – twenty years later - I attended. It’s no surprise that I feel at home with a guitar on my lap, a microphone in my face – and an audience in front of me. Music unifies us – it transcends cultures and brings people together in ways that other things simply can’t do. It not only reminds us of significant moments in our lives – it transports us back to those moments.
My time in bars, resorts, dives – and pretty much everything in between – has given me an opportunity to feel what audiences want to hear. I often sit in the audience and observe – which songs make them respond favorably? Which genres?

Hidden Truths of America's Founding
For someone who never really took college seriously, I have had an avid interest in history since I left school in the 90’s.
In particular – I study U.S. history, focusing on the founding of our nation. I’ve become fascinated about what most of us DIDN’T learn . . . trying to find answers that rarely appeared in textbooks.
Decades of flying airplanes meant that I had a LOT of time on layovers to explore towns across America – and I would often end up in second-hand bookstores. Most of the information I have found came from these used bookstores.
Feeling that there was a need for much of this information to reach the masses, I began the task of putting it together in a production that includes live storytelling and music – backed with a power point to illustrate the material and bring these concepts to life.
The Founders beliefs – as it pertained to the (seemingly) impossible success we experienced as a young nation – are almost completely hidden from the past several generations of Americans. A letter written by a president – innocently written as a response to a question posed to him by a group of citizens – has been cherry-picked . . . used instead to literally help change the original intent of our Constitution. As a result, the God-given rights affirmed to us by the U.S. Constitution have been up-ended. Verdict after unconstitutional verdict have been forced upon us by a runaway federal judiciary.
Despite this, a blueprint to restore our nation to its original greatness has been hidden in plain sight.
Where is it?
Who put it there?
What does it say?
Why didn’t we know about it?
Join me on a storytelling, musical journey – from a fledgling nation, rebelling against the tyranny forced on us by the British Crown . . . to becoming the most powerful nation on earth . . . only to watch the foundation of our success erode.
Eroding to the point where our future success is in doubt
The aforementioned blueprint gives Americans a roadmap to the very successes our earliest citizens enjoyed. It is hope – carved into a granite monument.
The question is – will we find the courage to do it?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Testimonials
As the former owner of L'Entrata Wine and Bistro, I had the pleasure of having Kenny as a featured performer for years.
He consistently impressed my staff and clientele with his exceptional talent and professional demeanor. Kenny's performances quickly became a key feature of the wine bar's ambiance. I can confidently say that his music significantly contributed to the warm and inviting atmosphere we wanted to provide our guests. Also, Kenny possesses a remarkable ability to read the room and would adapt his performance to the mood of the evening - which not all performers can, or are willing to do.
Kenny is a dedicated and talented individual with a passion for his craft that shines through in every performance. He would be a valuable and respected addition to any musical endeavor.

Kenny has become a staple at Homeland Brew Co., and we couldn't be happier every time he takes the stage. His music is always on point, creating the perfect vibe for our taproom whether it's a busy weekend night or a laid-back evening crowd. He has a natural way of connecting with guests, bringing a following of his own while keeping everyone engaged and entertained. It's the kind of performance that makes people want to stay for 'just one more.' We're always excited to have Kenny back, any night he plays turns into a memorable one. He truly knows how to strike the right chord!
