Kenny Young and his band hail from the southern shore area of New Jersey. After one listen to this band, you’d swear these boys lived somewhere below the Mason-Dixon Line.
The Kenny Young Band performs Original Southern Rock / Americana music.
They have opened for The Georgia Satellites , The Outlaws , Tommy Castro, Ricky Lynn Gregg, Jimmy Van Zant and Micheal Allman. Also performed in Oct 2014 @ Deerfield Twp. Harvest Festival  featuring Lonestar and will be opening for the Outlaws for a 3rd time September 11th 2015 @ Levoy Theatre.


In the mid 90’s, Kenny Young decided to put his music on the back burner of life to raise his family. For almost 10 years Kenny only played at home for his wife and his children. In 2005, after deciding to go back into the recording studio to record some original acoustic songs he’d been working on over the last decade, he caught the ear of Thomas Smead, the owner of Tommy Naples Music and Record Label.

Fast forward to 2010! Kenny Young brings together a group of musicians to help him record his debut album, “Simple Things”. Kenny’s life has travelled many roads over the years and he paved them into a collection of songs that range from beautiful ballads like “Lay A Rose” to balls-to-the-wall rockers like “Krazy“.

Throughout 2011, The Kenny Young Band began to pack venues throughout the southern shore towns in New Jersey. While building a solid fan base playing sold-out shows and benefits Kenny Young’s new album, “Simple Things” was receiving positive reviews from music critics, radio programmers and DJ’s around the world.

Even with his music gaining popularity and exposure, Kenny felt his songs needed something more; it was time for a change! And, he found it with the addition of two solid guitar players who bring more to his music with the addition of other instruments. Kenny Young is finally seeing his true vision coming into focus.

Drawing on Plato’s concept of the divided line, which describes the visible world of things and objects perceived versus the understanding we have of them, The Divided Line blends elements of prog with radio-friendly hooks while exploring unconventional song structure. The result is a melodic, hard-hitting sound with grooves and lyrics you won’t forget.

Inspired by the music of alternative and metal bands, such as Tool and Incubus, Blair Barton (Guitar) began writing songs in 2009. His desire to make the project a reality soon saw the band grow to include longtime friend, Reza Shaffaf (Bass Guitar). Their musical synergy was evident from the moment they began writing together.  It wasn’t long until the band started creating a buzz both in and out of Toronto. After various lineup changes and releasing three singles with guest artist Venn in 2014, they took a break to regroup and rebuild.

Persistence pays off.  Now joined by Greg Cave (multi-instrumentalist & singer/song-writer) and Luke Scott (Drummer, previously from Rumsfield) the group has bounced back quickly, writing new songs, performing shows and developing releases and videos.
