Kenny Durham was born and raised in Hohenwald, Tennessee. (population 3000) He comes by his love for music through his grandfather and mother. Granddad Burns  used to make banjos out of cigar boxes. He also played the fiddle. Kenny's mother taught him how to play guitar. To this day, at family get-togethers, playing instruments and singing is always part of the fun. While most boys his age were listening to Rock and Roll, Kenny listened to John Denver. He played his music over and over again while delivering papers on his paper route. Kenny listened to all John Denver's music, not just his top hits. Kenny gives credit to John for showing him that staying true to what you believe and staying committed will eventually pay off. John's tragic death affected Kenny deeply and inspired him to write Good-Bye-John, a tribute song about John Denver.
Growing up Kenny was rarely seen without his guitar and/or an animal by his side. He has always loved dogs and horses. Today, he and his wife Lanette, share their ranch with 5 horses, two pet cows and a goat. In addition they have I I dogs of their own and foster many homeless, abused and neglected dogs for the High Forest Humane Society. When they aren't on the road touring, they enjoy spending their time horseback riding and hiking around their ranch.
 Kenny has fans of all ages. Here is a photo of Hayden Bass, singing along with Kenny. Hayden was 4 years old when he first heard Kenny. Immediately afterwards Hayden began wearing a cowboy hat, his pants inside his cowboy boots and introducing himself as "Kenny Durham". Hayden knows all the words to Kenny's songs and loves to sing along with him.
