Second album from Shane Kenny and band

Shane Kenny and Brownstone Station from Wexford are set to release their long awaited second album on Saturday 3rd May with a launch party in the Wexford Arts Centre. The four piece will perform a selection of songs from the new album titled 'Eight Miles Out' which is the follow up to the 2009 release 'Lost in the Madness of Crowds.'

The event will start at 8.30pm with special guest support from acclaimed local rock band The Fulcrum Effect and renowned songwriter and frontman of Ripcord 64, Ollie Dempsey.

The new album follows on from the release of three singles 'Rolls off your tongue', 'Threw it all away' and 'Desert Road' through Florida based record label Musik and Film. To date the singles have been picked up by more than 5000 radio stations worldwide and it is expected that the release of 'Eight Miles Out' will build on this success.

The Wexford band signed a record deal in 2013 with the American record label Musik and Film, which was set up by former managers of rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd. Musik and Film associates have been in the music business almost four decades and as well as having worked with Lynyrd Skynyrd they have worked with great artists such as Red Jump Suit Apparatus, Survivor, Loverboy, Eddie and the Cruisers, Tommy Tutone, Missing Persons, Daryl Worley, Molly Hatchet, Ozzie Osbourne, Duran Duran and many others.

Since releasing his first album, ‘Lost in the Madness of Crowds’ in 2009, Kenny has shared stages with some of leading Irish and international acts on the contemporary music scene including Mick Flannery, Mundy, Duke Special, Jerry Fish, The Hot Sprockets, The 4 of Us, The Original Rudeboys, The Barley mob, The Cabin Collective, Lazek, Southern Tenant Folk Union, The Niall Toner band, Declan O’Rourke, John Spillane, Cathy Davey and the Irish Tenors.

With an Irish tour in the pipeline there are also plans to take the show to the UK and Europe as well as dates in the US and Canada.
