Kenny Belanger & Bros American Roots Rock & Blues

A new back to the roots attitude and sound has just been developed by Kenny Belanger, former member of the very successful Belanger Bros. out of Phoenix, Arizona.

Kenny has relocated to a country estate in upstate New York (back to his roots) and has partnered with two new band members from the area. Kenny has returned to the roots of American rock and blues.

Joining Kenny are Johnny B., drummer/vocalist and Victor Rapozo, bass/vocalist. Both individuals have a tremendous amount of experience in the business. Johnny B. comes from Huntington, Long Island, New York and has been playing in various clubs and other top venues, doing rock and blues and has found a tight groove with the other members of the band.. Johnny B produces a unique quality of style and sound, blending the backbeat of modern and roots rock. Victor is a native of Broome County, playing large venues in the tri-upstate area and has been performing the majority of his life with an original touch of rock and blues. He adds a tight rhythm bass to the act, which blends a dynamic roots oriented sound and style.

The band will be performing in various venues throughout the state, and are working on the release of a new CD, embarking on a new national tour, promoting and performing the back to the roots music in their own personal style, sure to be a hit to see and hear.

Kenny originally came from the upper New York state area where he and his brother, Gar Belanger, played to the delight and enjoyment of large followings. In 1989, they decided they needed a change and moved to the Southwest and Phoenix, Arizona. During their years in Phoenix, they again developed a large loyal following of fans, all the time, experimenting and improving their music. It was during this time they teamed up with the late Maynard Portwood, a Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame member from the Allman Brothers Band.

While in Phoenix, Kenny came out with two CD’s, Belanger and Bros, and Down In Jamaica, both being very popular. It wasn’t just in the Phoenix area either where Kenny’s brand and style of music was a hit. Kenny was sought out to play to crowds all over the Southwest in many concerts and various venues. Kenny has opened for various major artists, most recently the Doobie Brothers. Kenny has been on the production team of over 25 platinum and gold records (working with the late Sean Delaney and others) so he is very familiar with the production as well as the performance side of the business.

Not just for himself, Kenny has played many benefit concerts including the MMA Run For The Wall, Walk for Conscience, Academy Awards dinner Benefit for Aids Research, Boys & Girls Club of America, Sedona Flood Victims, and Kenny’s personal favorite, Child Quest International.

Kenny says he is on a mission, “My mission is to perform and do the best to present an entertaining show, so not only does the audience enjoy themselves while there, but we want them to go home after the show, awe struck, that something good has happened and they have good memories of the group after leaving the show…that’s making our mission a success.”

Having moved back to his “roots” Kenny feels the need to also get back to the roots of American Rock-N-Roll with a touch of blues, a powerful, substantive brand and style of music deep in the soul of American music.
