Being a local boy, Kenny
attended J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, and then graduated
from the University of Texas in Austin with a BBA in Business. He
was also a member of the UT Longhorn Marching Band and the Longhorn
Stage Ensemble. Kenny is proficient in both guitar and bass, playing
both professionally since age 17. A long time friend of Stevie Ray
Vaughan and devout follower of the SRV style, every year he is the
Stage Manager if the annual SRV Ride & Concert.
Prepping for this his whole life and because music is his life, the
Texas Guitar Workshop will be much more than a repair shop. This is
because not only will we repair existing instruments but we also
want to focus on custom, hand built guitars & basses both electric
and acoustic.
