We loved having Kenny Karr at our event! He played some really great tunes for our corporate event. Even though the outside elements didn't work out to our advantage, Kenny remained professional and understanding of the circumstances. I highly recommend Mr. Karr for your next event.

Kenny was easy going and great to work with. We had him come play and sing for a birthday party. Flexible when it came to creating set list and easy to schedule the performance too.
