Real Country Music Straight from the heart
Kent has that smooth “real country” sound that hails from a golden age of country music with legends like George Strait, Travis Tritt and Willie Nelson. Kent’s music takes his audience on a journey back in time through storytelling and country music melodies we all know and love. Kent pulls his audience in, inspires many to dance and creates a Nashville authentic country music environment listeners can’t get enough of.
TWO 1990 HIT SINGLES …. “Pathway of A Fool ” & “Two Cups of Coffee”
1988 and 1990 Male Vocalist of the Year
Kent plays the favorites, but has his own playlist is chart topping with the best of them. Kent signed with Brykas Records in the late 1980s in Nashville, TN. His first album produced two hit singles, “Two Cups of Coffee” and “Pathway of a Fool,” which reached number 1 on the country charts in June of 1990. Kent is the recipient of the “Male Vocalist of the Year ” in 1988 from the Wyoming Rocky Mountain Country Music Foundation, and in 1990 from the Major Independent Record Label Assn.
While preparing for tour and a hit new single, Kent found bad luck. Brykas Records found itself in securities trouble and closed their doors. All assets were froze. Including Kent’s new singles and plans. After finding luck and loss in Nashville in the 90s, Kent went to London England with Prestige Records to continue his country music career across the Pond away from the Record Label trouble. Kent returned to the States in 2009 with Spirit Wind Records in New York, to pursue his other musical talent, the native flute. In 2009, he was the winner of the Coveted Native American Music Awards “Flutist of the Year” and three time nominee for “Artist of the Year “.
Kent is originally from Lander, Wyoming. He became interested in music at a young age. Kent says one of his first music influences was the work of country legend Charley Pride. And, he started becoming interested in performing during his teen years.
