The Kenn Morr Band

Skip on down to Connecticut’s Old State House for their annual free summer concert series. This year, concerts will be held on the East Lawn side beginning at noon. They’ll also be live-streamed to their Facebook and Youtube for the folks who can’t attend IRL.

Who’s playing?
Growing up on Long Island, Kenn was inspired by such melody minded acts such as Gordon Lightfoot, Simon and Garfunkel, Graham Nash, and Jackson Browne. The Kenn Morr Band enthralls audiences of all sizes, from intimate coffeehouses to the stages of venues as demanding as the famed Bitter End in New York City and the International Festival of Arts and Ideas on the New Haven Green. They feature violin virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Tom Hagymasi and melodic bassist/vocalist Pat Ryan, a graduate of the Berklee College of Music. The group has been together for many years, becoming fast favorites on the outdoor festival scene and often features noted drummer Tido Holtkamp. They’ve paid dues of every kind and played gigs of every stripe along the way while sharing the stage with artists like John Sebastian, Al Kooper, Eric Burdon, and John Wesley Harding.
