Bio

Just like a mask—that so-called disguise which, in fact, often reveals something profound and otherwise secret about the individual who wears it—Mo’s upcoming release “Covers” offers a glimpse into the molecular musical composition of the artist interpreting them.

Kenney’s willingness to unflinchingly pursue their artistic impulses on their own terms has resulted in numerous accolades over the past decade, including a 2013 SOCAN Songwriting Prize for the song “Sucker,” a nomination for the 2016 Adult Alternative Album of the Year JUNO for In My Dreams, and too many East Coast Music Awards and Nova Scotia Music Awards to count. And despite the uncertainty of live music in 2020, the year will find Kenney exploring new and innovative ways to connect with their fans.

“The real shock for me was the immediate impact of Mo Kenney. Having penned the A-side, “Eden”, when they were barely in High School and honestly, it’s hard to not hear the vocal similarities between them and the smoky siren of The Velvet Underground.” – Herohill

“Mo Kenney stares from the cover of their debut album with a Mona Lisa smile — an ambiguous expression that suggests many different feelings. The same elusiveness extends to their music, which is – isn’t really folk, as their numerous acoustic performances would suggest. It isn’t really rock, either, retaining an intimacy even when filled out by a full band. While their demeanour is plain-spoken, Kenney’s first, self-titled album — recorded with the help of Canadian indie rock hero Joel Plaskett — offers a rich array of moods.” – Toro Magazine

“It’s beautiful. It really is. It’s artistically arranged, with the songs flowing into each other, and the music itself is composed skillfully and elegantly; each beat a careful hum, each continuous note an ode to itself and the album as whole. Their voice is smooth and steady; (surely they could chat anybody up with their fluid delivery) their guitar playing is gorgeous; it’s like they have almost some sort of aura that draws us all to their soft songs and their quiet lyrics.” – The Scene Magazine

“It feels awkward to just blurt it out, but Mo Kenney has achieved a craft on the level with artists including Ani DiFranco, Stevie Nicks, Jolie Holland and Neko Case on their self-titled debut. Such a statement feels awkward because the album in question is their first; those other artists had to work for years to refine their talents and chops, but it’s hard not to feel like you’re bearing witness to the birth of a new star when you hear this record.” – Ground Control Magazine

Sitting on the curb watching them take away the bottles
Never thought I’d get this far my mind has been remodelled
I didn’t believe it then
When I said this would be the end
I just wanted something new and I wanted it with you
Baby I can’t read your mind but I wish I could all of the time
I wonder what you want from me and I think I’d give you anything
Leading me out of the woods
No more being misunderstood
I wanted something true and I wanted it with you
It kept me up so I called you
and maybe it was too go to be true
But I couldn’t let go of it
What you said I bought it
What you said I bought it
Maybe in another life I’ll reconcile my heart and mind
