I got to see a little bit of that.ĪD: What does your dad think now? Is he alive? So, my dad's band just worked, and then they went to Nashville and made a record, went to radio with it, and all that kind of stuff. They were original, but they were more along the lines of Alabama, Exile, that kind of sound.ĪD: I love Alabama, their ballads are so good. They call it the Four State area, so it's Missouri, Kansas City, Arkansas and Oklahoma. JK: They were, from '79-'89, one of the biggest regional bands in Southwest Missouri. My mom's water broke at one of my dad's gigs when I was almost born.ĪD: (LMAO!) Now that is really born into it! ( laughing) She was excited, man, she was dancing, right?ĪD: So what kind of music did your dad's band play? Guys were hanging out around the kitchen table playing songs on acoustic, with my dad. I grew up in a town of like 600 people, and my dad was in a band, so I was born into all of this. Some cool things on that show ( laughing)ĪD: How is it to grow up around there and do music, did you feel isolated? JK: I'm in the Ozarks, actually, can you hear me OK?ĪD: Yeah, I can.

He's in it for the music, and it shows in his extreme gratitude for the people he has met along the way, and a strong loyalty to his band, his brethren. It felt natural talking to him, no walls up, just like his sound. Josh Kennedy is great to speak with, and stories that drip off of his tongue like second nature, and a well-lived life. You won't find gimmicks or layers of production clogging their energy, yet you will hear craftsmanship and raw emotion and bona fide Rock. ![]() They will play Rockfest in Wisconsin in mid July, and will be at Aftershock in October, with other Summer shows between. From Tempe, Arizona, the band is vocalist and guitarist Josh Kennedy, bassist Jordan Hoffman, and drummer Chico Diaz. ![]() Songs like "Sunshine," "Home," "Bella Donna," and there's more, yet you need to hear them to see what I mean. This band embodies chemistry and excellent songwriting. ![]() I almost jump out of my chair, each song is better than the next, yet the sum of the parts that easily come together is a synchronistic thumbprint called, The Black Moods. My ears can't believe it! An original, soulful, authentic new sound in Rock music.
