One of the hardest working
men in music is Kenny Morrow. Kenny started playing bass
on an aircraft carrier somewhere in the Pacific Ocean while
in the Navy. "I played my first gig at this sweat
box in the Philippines. They paid us in beer and I was
so nervous I got drunk as hell before we played. It was
the muggiest little hole in the wall I've ever been in, and
we sucked... but damn, it was a good time," remarks Kenny
when asked about his first live gig ever.
Since
then, he has established himself as a phenomenal player in and
around the Washington DC area. "He's like our best
kept secret," says Travis Williams, "If I screw up
or Erick plays in the wrong key, I listen for the bass line
to bring me home." Kenny's straight ahead style complements
John Peterson's hard hitting drums and lays the groundwork
for Thomas' jams.
Kenny
is a native of Georgia and fan of every possible kind of music
you've ever heard of. He brings it all in and uses it to
play with more heart and soul than most. From a swampy bass
line reminiscent of the Chicago blues scene, to an uptempo shuffle
from his days in punk bands, Kenny continually raises the bar
on himself, and the rest of the band, night in and night out.
This
man has a love for all music like no other.
