Keith Kenny singer-songwriter
Lifetime Ago Motel is the fifth album from veteran New Jersey-based band-of-one, Keith Kenny. It was written over a three-year period and recorded at his Studio 303 facility in Monroe, New Jersey, self-produced by Kenny. Among special guests contributing is drummer Sim Cain (Regressive Aid, Gone, Rollins Band, Dean Ween Group).
Most of the new record was written while Kenny was on the road promoting his last self-titled album, produced by 3-Grammy winner Justin Guip (Hot Tuna’s touring drummer and sound engineer for the late Levon Helm). What should have been a victory lap (with dates opening for regional heroes The Dean Ween Group) was filled with stress and anguish. Kenny was recently married, but time spent away from his new wife strained their marriage to its breaking point. The economics of modern-day touring had Kenny barely breaking even despite scoring some impressive gigs from coast to coast, including a residency at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, and weekly appearances at Dean Ween’s “Invitational” jam nights.
