But now, the Medford native is leveling up with his debut full-length album Hometown Heart, officially dropping June 20th.

A Soundtrack for the Jersey Shore

Hometown Heart is a deeply personal blend of country grit and rock. That’s what Kenny does best. It’s an album full of nostalgia and tells stories only someone from South Jersey could tell.

From the title track to fan-favorite “Jersey Shore,” this record is basically made for cruising down the Garden State Parkway with the windows down or late nights at your camper down in Wildwood.
