"I play mostly vintage instruments. D'Addario strings don't add any overtones to my guitar. They bring out the instrument's tone and magnifies it. Every time I step on stage or in the studio, it's about the tone. D'Addario is a big part of my sound."

"I can't say enough about the EJ22 Nickel Jazz strings. Simply the best string I've ever used on my acoustic and electric! These nickel strings don't add any overtones to your sound. I love that!"
Originally from Nine Mile, Indiana, Kenny is widely considered one of the most important and influential flatpicking-style guitarists of his generation. A two-time IBMA Guitarist of the Year award winner, his professional credits include six years with the popular Lonesome River Band and an exceptional solo CD, Studebaker, released on Sugar Hill Records in 1997. A much anticipated Guitar Solo CD, Return, released on Gat3 Records in 2012.
Winners of the International Bluegrass Music Association's prestigious Emerging Artist of the Year award in 2003, the Kenny and Amanda Smith Band combines gutsy, heartfelt vocals, brilliant instrumental talents and a powerful, contemporary sense of song choice and arrangement into one of the most compelling new sounds in bluegrass today.
Kenny is in great demand at guitar workshops and master classes, teaching at the renowned Roanoke Bluegrass Weekend series, Kaufman Kamp, Acoustic Music Camp, Augusta Bluegrass Camp and at guitar workshops at major events such as IBMA. He has just released a two-DVD instruction set on AcuTab Publications.
Critics and fans alike were drawn to the heartfelt performances on Tell Someone, resulting in Grammy, GMA Dove Award and International Bluegrass Music Association award nominations. Also, the song ""Shoutin' Time"" was nominated for Song of the Year at the Singing News Awards.
