  • Description

    The buzz on Mo Kenney is fuelled by her quirky songs, unique voice and the admiration and support of industry veterans such as Joel Plaskett, Ron Sexsmith, and Gordie Sampson.

    East Coast rock and roll hero Plaskett, produced and played on the album, as well as contributing a couple of co-writes. Plaskett may still be best known as a prolific and popular Juno-winning rock and roll veteran, but his bona fides as a producer are now well-established.

    Such acclaimed artists as Two Hours Traffic, Sarah Slean, and Steve Poltz have all made good use of his studio skills.

    She may be just 23, but Mo Kenney is far from being a novice songwriter. She began writing in her early teens, and by the age of 14, she'd already done some recording at a small studio in Bedford, Nova Scotia.

    Having influences and inspirations drawn from classic and alt-rock artists rather than the traditional singer/songwriter pantheon helps account for the bracing freshness of Mo Kenney's style.

    Fitting her sound into a neat box is an exercise in futility, though, if pressed, Mo can settle for pop music with a folky twist. These songs are like a collection of the music I have been carrying around since I was about 15. Many of the songs were written when I was younger, so the album is a weird mix. More wonderful than weird, we say.
