August 1, 2018Having Kennadee play for our vow renewal ceremony was absolutely fantastic...she was very personable and accommodating with the music she played. Kennadee contacted us as soon as we found her on saladgig and was in touch with us many times asking about song lists and was happy to learn a new song or two if you wanted and she didnt know it. She played the whole time she was booked and she was fantastic. If your looking an acoustic solo person she is the person and I know you won't be disappointed.

To her, it’s all about creating unforgettable memories together, one note at a time!
KennaDee was born in Alabama into a musical family. Growing up, she was heavily involved in anything and everything music. She sang in various ensembles, took part in town events and charity concerts.
In 2015, she started her music career. She found herself in a rock and blues band out of New York called "The Measure", where she was the lead singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist for five years. After that, she kicked off her solo career.
And in late 2019 KennaDee released her debut album “Gypsy Soul”, which earned her a SAMMY (Syracuse Area Music Awards) nomination.
Since then she has played countless venues, benefits, private parties and festivals. She has also been featured on NPR’s "Common Threads" and Westcott Radio’s "Hit-n-Mix" (both hosted by Larry Hoyt) as well as "CNYLive!" hosted by Fred Reed.
All sound equipment and lighting are provided at every show, producing a good clean sound that her customers love. She is committed to prompt setup and removal of gear, a great sound, and a real need to entertain the audience at a high level.
She is a professional musician that takes pride in putting customers first by understanding the nature of their setting, the needs of the facility, and promoting the interests of the audience.
