Kenny George Band from Aiken, SC

THE SILENT SAINT E.P.

7 TRACK STUDIO EP | AVAILABLE NOW!

Tragedy has a way of upending even the most stable trajectory. The Kenny George Band knows that fact first hand. After last year’s sudden death of the band’s original drummer Bucky Brown, the group was faced with some hard choices, including the difficult decision about whether the band should even persevere. They chose to transition the only way they knew how -- to keep on making music.

The Silent Saint EP, recorded at Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Studios and produced by long-time associate Shawn Guess, reflects a resilience that’s always been a part of the Kenny George Band’s sound. Using Brown’s original tracks while rerecording the other instruments to give it a fresher, cleaner sound plus a wholly original track recorded with new drummer Dave Mercer were combined for the EP.

“Bucky will always be a part of this band,” George said. “But with Dave in the fold, we know that we’re going to do what he would have hoped we would, and that’s to carry on as we always have. Only now we have that added purpose and passion when it comes to pursuing our dream.”
