Kenny Neal to headline 2008 Fall Blues Blowout for Iowa Public Radio

9/29/08 (Cedar Falls) - American bluesman Kenny Neal brings his axe to Waterloo’s Electric Park Ballroom on November 22 for the 2008 Fall Blues Blowout, presented by the Friends of KUNI/KHKE.

Let Life Flow marks the return of multi-instrumentalist and modern swamp-blues master Kenny Neal, with an inspired set that draws musically from the sizzling sounds of his native Louisiana, while striking a deep, emotional resonance in response to the personal trials he has recently endured. For the past few years, health problems forced Kenny away from the studio and touring, and his first release since signing with Blind Pig Records finds him returning with a renewed vigor and outlook on life. Let Life Flow reflects his optimistic sense of perseverance, set to the soulful grooves that have garnered him a solid fan base over the past twenty years.

Commenting on his recent return to recording and performing with Let Life Flow, Kenny said, "With all the tragedy and darkness I've been through in the past three years, I'm finally seeing the light. I've been waiting for a long time for a record company to say ‘Make a record that you feel good about.' Blind Pig Records gave me that opportunity. And my new CD, Let Life Flow, is coming straight from my heart. Hope everyone enjoys it."

Opening the show is the 2008 Iowa Blues Challenge winner, the Avey Brothers, from Davenport. Showtime is 8 p.m.

Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 at the door). Advance tickets can be ordered online at kuniradio.org or by calling 800-772-2440, ext. 0. Advance tickets are also available at Bob's Guitars in Cedar Falls. All proceeds benefit Iowa Public Radio.

Kenny Neal Public Access TV Show

People of Palo Alto California, don't realize how lucky they are to have Kenny Neal doing a public access show for them! Kenny Neal, son of the late Raful Neal. Kenny is promoting both local and national blues acts on his show. However, what is really cool about this show, is Kenny Neal is a blues star himself. He knows most of the people he brings onto his show, and actually goes out and recruits local blues artists to perform on his show.
