Home for Boyle has been Nashville, where he knew he had to scuffle and take his lumps and triumphs if he were to fully mature as an artist. He moved to Nashville with one piece of advice from none other than one of his earliest inspirations, Rodney Crowell: “Be honest to the music and give 'em hell.”
And that Boyle is doing, gaining a following among audiences and kingmakers alike.
Songwriter, artist and friend Davis Raines describes Boyle’s music as “apocalyptic." It’s a word that to Boyle means a “foreboding of imminent disaster” as well as being “wildly unrestrained.”
Raines just says this:
“Kenan Boyle, just a lad but already writing like he was 80 and busting with stage presence. A real heartbreaker and musicmaker, this guy, and he's got that look in his eye.”
