After letting his fans hang for over 10 years, Kenny, dubbed as Quebec's James Brown, has finally succeeded in putting together the requirements to record his first album which consists mostly of original compositions.
The Bistro à Jojo was the launching pad for his first album “Going with the flow” in Montreal.
