Kenny Lattimore LIVE @ Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley | July 17th & 18th, 2012

 

International
R&B singer, Kenny Lattimore embodies the elements of traditional
R&B with a decidedly contemporary flare and feel. He has established
himself as a soulful song stylist of the first order receiving the
NAACP Image Award for Best New Artist, and nominations for the Grammy,
Soul Train and Stellar Awards. Whether putting a distinctive stamp on
classic songs recorded by such musical icons as Donny Hathaway (“I Love
You More Than You’ll Ever Know”) and George Harrison (“While My Guitar
Gently Weeps”), or creating his own legacy of hits such as “Never Too
Busy,” and the wedding ballad “For You”,

 

Kenny’s style combines passion, intensity and subtlety, making him one of today’s premier male vocalists. His
vocals have graced albums by such diverse musical colleagues as Musiq
Soulchild, Rachelle Ferrell, Nancy Wilson and Brian Culbertson.  He
continues to demonstrate his creative stability as a performer, singer,
songwriter and producer, earmarking him as a leader amongst artists who
are keeping the tradition of classic R&B, Soul music and Gospel very
much alive in the 21^st century.

 

Evolving
into a devoted humanitarian, Kenny has extended his influence to
several non-profit organizations. In 2008, he served alongside actor
Lamman Rucker as spokesperson for Tied To Greatness, an outreach program
to improve the self-image of at-risk inner city high school males. In
2009, he served as the spokesperson for The ASHE Foundation, an
organization focused on providing shoes and basic necessities to
children in African nations who have been orphaned by wars, poverty, and
the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS. In early 2011, he established his
own non-profit organization, The Kenny Lattimore Foundation, which uses
mentoring, education and the arts to transform the lives of young
people.  Since 1997, he has on many occasions supported the United Negro
College Fund in their efforts to encourage college attendance with
young people throughout America. Currently he is touring with Brian
White, Monique Jackson, Keita Williams (of The T.O. Show) and other
celebrities to support the UNCF Empower Me 2011 tour.

 

Currently
in the works is Kenny’s next original recording project “Back 2 Cool”
slated to be released later in 2012 on his own label SincereSoul
Records. As the Washington Post has declared Kenny Lattimore “a new
master of the new soul”, Kenny remains committed to making expressive
and enduring music that gives him the freedom to be himself.
