Kenny Githens - Bass Guitar

          Born and raised in South Jersey, Kenny's passion for the Blues started at an early age.  In the late 60's and early 70's he began listening to John Mayall, the Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, Hot Tuna and, a little later, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, and especially Albert Collins.  At age 23 he was loaned a bass guitar and a small amp by a good friend and told to give it a try.  He's been grateful ever since. 
          A few years later he helped to form the State Street Blues Band and over the years he has played with many Blues and Rock bands in the Philadelphia Tri-State area, including Buckshot, The Psychedelic Pants, Snakeskin Blues Band and Doghouse. 
          In 2007 Kenny became a founding member of Scoville Blues.  Along with helping to write the band's original material, Kenny's straight ahead rhythmic playing style helps to propel their brand of the Blues. 
          Along the way he has shared the stage with some of the area's best blues musicians, including Georgie Bonds, Lonnie Shields, Mikey jr., Eddie Taylor Jr., Bev Conklin, Brian McLean, Skyla Burrell, Stacy Brooks, Andrew "Jr. Boy" Jones, Victor Wainwright and Gary Cogdell.  He's also opened up for some great acts, including Dave Mason, Little Feat, Walter Trout and Chris Cain.  When not playing with Scoville Blues Kenny can be found playing with Philadelphia's own Georgie "The Blacksmith" Bonds.
