Kenny Bishop

 For nearly twenty years Kenny traveled with his dad and his brother in one of Christian music's most popular Southern Gospel trios. The Bishops garnered several industry and fan awards including the coveted Dove Award as well as numerous number one and top ten songs. The group made a name for themselves appearing on television and stages all across America. Their songs were constants on most every radio station and program that featured Southern Gospel music. After thousands of miles, more than two dozen recordings and hundreds of songs, the Bishops, as a group, retired in 2001.

Soon after the group's retirement, Kenny went to work in politics. Even though he had worked as a part time political advisor and consultant while traveling with the his family, helping run and manage local political races, Kenny joined the campaign staff of U.S. Congressman Ernie Fletcher in the summer of 2002. The next year when the Congressman ran for Governor of Kentucky and won, Kenny went to work in the Fletcher administration at the state capitol.

Now, after nearly 4 years of quiet reflection, Kenny is once again listening to the heart of God as he embarks on his next mission.

"Things have to be different this time around," Kenny says. "These last four years have taken me around the universe emotionally, philosophically and most importantly, spiritually. I've learned more about the heart and the mind of God in these past seasons than I could've ever imagined. I know more now about who God is, how He loves and why. And I am so anxious to share my find."
Plans for his first solo recording in ten years were announced recently as Kenny signed an exclusive recording agreement with Daywind Records. The project is scheduled for a mid-spring 2006 release.
