Linny Kenney is a Musician/Artist/Leather Worker from New Hampshire now residing in San Francisco, CA. She attended Plymouth State University on a talent grant where she earned her B.A. in Music (Vocal Performance). Linny went on to continue her study of Classical and Musical Theater styles with Neil Semer in NYC. She was later invited to study and perform at the Neil Semer Vocal Institute in Coesfeld, Germany.
Linny is currently a Musical Director at Kids Take The Stage and performs original music with her sister, Caiti, in their folk band.
This May (2010) Linny and Caiti will ride across the country on horseback and bicycle. The trek will be documented as they ride into towns along the way gathering stories of family. The ride is about endurance and overcoming difficult times. It's about what lies on the other side and seeing the positive effects that can come out of tragedy.
“Family quarrels have a total bitterness unmatched by others. Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of tang, a pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, based on the tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later for you to climb back.” ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
“The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.” ~Pearl S. Buck
