American singer/songwriter Kyle Jennings arrived on the music scene in 2004 when his album “Shine” was released on Dark Horse Records Nashville. Out of the box Jennings music made an aggressive first impression likely due to cross-genre rock influences such as Journey, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. A gritty mix of Americana, rock, folk, and blues influences and a deep-rooted traditional country stronghold have always been characteristic of Jennings musical style. Raised in the rich Midwestern culture of Michigan's hard-wooded backcountry trails in a hard-working blue collar family Jennings was the youngest of 3 kids. Growing up his father Gary worked as a teacher and a home builder, and his mother Linda worked as a stay at home mom and part-time nurse. From his early teens Jennings spent his summers slinging lumber and building houses with his dad learning the trade of home construction and remodeling and spent the better part of his youth pursuing his passion for ice hockey. After graduating high school Jennings left his hometown of Comstock to play Junior hockey in Toledo, OH. From there he spent two seasons in Springfield, Illinois playing for the Springfield Junior Blues of the NAHL. Jennings spent three seasons traveling the US and Canada before a string of concussions led to an early exit of his hockey career and ultimately his return home to Michigan. Soon after returning home Jennings would segue his passion for hockey into music. Discovering an old Yamaha guitar underneath his grandfather’s bed where he was living Jennings started to teach himself guitar and began writing songs and performing. In a short period of time Jennings was entertaining crowds around southwest Michigan.
