Kenny Neal- The Auditorium Kenny Neal began playing music at a very young age, learning the basics from his father, singer and blues harmonica player, Raful Neal. Family friends like Lazy Lester, Buddy Guy and Slim Harpo also contributed to Kenny’s early musical education. In fact, it was Harpo who gave the crying three-year-old a harmonica to pacify him. Kenny stopped crying that day, and eventually learned to play the harmonica. Along the way, he also mastered the bass, trumpet, piano and guitar. At 13, he joined his father’s band and began paying his musical dues. Four years later, he was recruited and toured extensively as Buddy Guy’s bass player. After touring with Buddy, Kenny decided to start his own band and develop his own career. In 1988 Kenny began releasing a series of consistently lauded albums featuring his laid-back, Baton Rouge blues, with a modern spin on the Louisiana sound he grew up with. He has gone on to tour the world, as well as host a TV show and star in a musical, winning a prestigious Theater World Award. Kenny has been nominated for six Blues Music Awards, and has taken home awards for Song of the Year and Acoustic Blues Album of the Year. Kenny has also been honored with two Living Blues Awards for Best New Contemporary Blues. |
