Mo Kenney
Mo Kenney is a fearless singer-songwriter from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, known for their raw honesty, distinctive voice, and disarming wit. Blending folk, rock, and indie pop with deeply personal storytelling, Kenney has carved out a unique space in Canada’s music scene—equal parts confessional and cool.
Since the release of their acclaimed self-titled debut in 2012 (produced by Joel Plaskett), Kenney has earned a shelf full of accolades, including the SOCAN Songwriting Prize, East Coast Music Awards, and a Canadian Folk Music Award. Albums like In My Dreams and The Details have taken listeners on journeys through heartbreak, recovery, identity, and resilience—with Kenney’s signature blend of melodic charm and lyrical bite leading the way.
Known for a deadpan stage presence that contrasts beautifully with their emotional songwriting, Mo Kenney is as compelling live as they are on record. Whether performing solo with a guitar or with a full band, Kenney has toured across North America and Europe, captivating audiences with songs that feel both universal and deeply personal.
Their most recent release, Covers (2021), stripped down songs by artists like Patsy Cline and Daniel Romano, showing Kenney’s gift for reinterpretation—and reminding us that whatever they touch becomes unmistakably their own.
