   About sam kenny
i bought a guitar in 1998 because i wanted to learn bob dylan songs and be bob dylan when i grew up. i am currently not bob dylan. i work as a barista for a certain big-brother-ish coffee shop while trying to write pretty songs. i also have too many t-shirts. contact me if you have further questions regarding "my story". DigStation - Indie Music Downloads
if you'd like to buy a song off my swell new cd, See the Storm Through, or want to buy the whole dag-blam cd, just click on the above link. here's what john sinkevic's said about it in the grand rapids press: "At first blush, this West Michigan singer-songwriter exhibits hints of Simon and Garfunkel from that duo's heyday. But his spare, original acoustic music also resonates with a unique poetic pulse."

Hey, could you check out my new song "The Questionable Paths" and let me know what you think? I know I can't play guitar well yet, the song only has 4 chords, and I can't sing, but the lyrics are killer, so doesn't that qualify me for the running for "Next Bob Dylan?"

Peace,
Greg
