BIO
Kenny
Mullins has been playing professionally for over 30 years. He has
toured the
US,
and Europe and has been an independent recording artist since 1978.
Since then, he has produced and released numerous original recordings
in a variety of formats and styles.
In 1990, Kenny formed A.U.T.E.H
(Artists United to End Homelessness) and put together a compilation
recording of 22 midcoast bands. With Kenny’s song, “It Could’ve
Been Me”, as the title track, all the profits and proceeds from
affiliated concerts helped raise money for and awareness about the
nations homeless.
In 1992, Kenny relocated to
Nashville, Tennessee.
In the late
90's,
Kenny’s life spun out of control. A drug and alcohol user since his
teens, he now found himself a serious abuser and addict. Over the
next decade, Kenny would go through several failed relationships, lose
his entire family and dozens of close friends, have pre-cancer surgery
twice, be hospitalised for depression, be temporarily homeless, give
up street drugs and alcohol while becoming addicted to doctors
prescription ‘medicine’, survive a tornado, injure his hands in a car
wreck and watch his once thriving career come to a complete halt …
among other things.
During all these troubling times,
Kenny never stopped writing and occasionally performed riveting sets
of material by himself and many of the great artists of the last
century.
In the summer of 1998, Kenny’s CD “It
Could’ve Been Me/Fight”, was released helping, once again, to
raise money for and awareness about the nations homeless.
In 2001, Kenny finally kicked his
decades-long drug and alcohol addiction and re-emerged with improved
health, a new attitude and a new CD. “Skyline
Nashville”
is a compelling collection of original songs steeped in country,
swing, bluegrass, folk, gospel and Celtic styles. Someone said it was
“like Willie Nelson meets Leonard Cohen, Emmylou Harris and The
Chieftains at Earl Scruggs house”
Today, Kenny has returned, once
again, to his art and has re-embraced his role as an activist with his
most recent CD, “Sister Oh Sister” and performances and CD sales that support,
among others, Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, The
Nashville Rescue Mission, Alive Hospice, Earthmatters, Amnesty
International, and various organizations that work with victims of
domestic violence, and support women and native peoples' rights. |
