With a beatnik’s flair, Jordan Kenny crafts smiling and timeless energy. Featuring hints of a folky quirkiness and a kindling poetic voice, his eclectic writing style is artfully composed with forward-thinking altruism and a dreamy complexity.
In 2018, Kenny self-released his debut EP Rainbows in My Clothes and has since played just about every venue Sydney has to offer. Touring with his own band and dirty ska rockers Cosy Bosom, Kenny has played in front of sold-out crowds at Factory Theatre, Vic on the Park, The Vanguard, Paddo RSL, The Brass Monkey, and El Sol. Kenny also had the opportunity to perform two of his songs in Tasmania, accompanied by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
Kenny delivers a kaleidoscope of eccentric rock on his new single, “Sleep (Is Good).” Outputting with a positive feel, Kenny is charmed with buoyant vocal charisma alongside sonic splendor reminiscent of The Soft Boys and Summerteeth era Wilco.
“In the moment that you are forced to let go of something you hold dear and close, there is a restlessness that develops, a yearning for the bed that you once slept easy in, knowing that life was simple and worked out for you. Don’t give up, keep looking and experiencing, for that is where meaning and eventual sleep awaits.”
