Kenny and The Commotion is the original music project of Florida‑based singer‑songwriter and bandleader Kenny Goldstone. What started as a teenager in New Jersey tinkering with recording gear and making rough demos slowly grew into a lifelong habit of chasing songs and better sounds.

Once in Florida, Kenny spent the more recent years in cover bands fronting The Grouper Cheeks and performing with Karate in the Garage - both of the Sarasota region - learning how to read a room, arrange other people’s songs, and keep a crowd locked in. Those nights onstage, plus countless hours experimenting with guitars, keys, and home‑recording setups, laid the groundwork for a shift from interpreting classics to writing his own.

With Kenny and The Commotion, he flips the script and steps fully into original territory. The music blends singer‑songwriter storytelling, alternative pop energy, and a touch of acoustic soul—melodic, lyric‑driven songs built to feel intimate on headphones and alive with a band. The debut album is finished and fully mastered: ten tracks set to roll out through 2026, with the first single arriving in January.

Onstage, Kenny is joined by a rotating cast of players who bring their own personality and dynamics to the show, turning each performance into a small community moment rather than a solo act with backing musicians.

After years honoring the music of others, Kenny is finally sharing his own voice through Kenny and The Commotion—inviting listeners into the next chapter of a journey that started with a four‑track, a few chords, and a lot of curiosity.
