Kimberly Korn and the Chaos
As heard on WWE & MTV... Singing, writing, dancing, and producing out of NYC. Kimberly Korn does it all to make badass bitch pop for crowds and screens. Like if Joan Jett corrupted Cyndi Lauper!
“Her story will be great fodder for a big-screen movie.”
Courier Times
Kimberly Korn has had stars in her eyes and glitter in her hair since she was a little girl. Mesmerized by Broadway, Barbies and Ballerinas, Kimberly began dancing at 2 1/2 years old and rarely took off her recital costumes. Always the entertainer, Kimberly put on weekly song and dance shows for the neighborhood adding comedy in between to get a rise out of the audience. As a member of the elementary school choir, Kimberly preferred tutus and sequins over her choir uniform and didn’t like harmonizing as part of a group. Her choir teacher suggested she study privately with famed-vocal coach Russell Faith in Philadelphia. After several years of vocal training, Kimberly was itching to break into the New York music scene. She spent her adolescent years shuttling between Philadelphia and New York doing the “Fame” thing: attending Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Camp, dancing with the Joffrey Ballet and choreographers Mia Michaels and Debbie Allen, and singing roles in Broadway workshops, such as Meatloaf-producer Jim Steinman’s “Paradise” and “Carrie: The Musical.” Addicted to learning more about the performing arts, Kimberly soon discovered avant-garde theatre works by writers Samuel Beckett, Bertolt Brecht and Edward Albee and was immediately drawn to the concept of showing an audience a truth that they may not want to see.
Although she grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, Kimberly came back to her New York roots to hone her performing and songwriting skills, settling in Manhattan’s East Village while attending NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. She began integrating her newfound independence and her awareness of the ruthlessness and reality of life into her musical compositions. Kimberly made a name for herself performing at various local clubs such as the Bitter End and Arlene’s Grocery, incorporating her passion for theatre, dance, music and outrageous fashion. Sensitive to the human condition, Kimberly creates bad ass bitch pop music that attests to life’s struggles.
Writing about situations such as burning an ex’s possessions (Love Lose Learn) and admitting to being completely imperfect (Broken Inside), Kimberly captures the essence of what it is like to push the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm. She was awarded Best New Writer by the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, an ASCAP Songwriting award and was 1 of 15 people selected to BMI’s Pop songwriting workshop.
With an ear to her surroundings, Kimberly brings the soundtrack of life’s hardships to her audience.
Cats On The Bus
Cats On The Bus is a Philadelphia-based quartet delivering a soul-deep tribute to the music of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band, while weaving in threads of Dylan, The Band, Little Feat, and other roots-rock legends.
Led by guitarist and vocalist Brian Elliot, the band blends guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums into a groove-rich, improvisational soundscape that captures the spirit of classic jam band culture. Originally formed in 2019 as the Brian Elliot Band, the group evolved into Cats On The Bus—a name that nods to the iconic Deadhead journey and a modern embrace of the jam scene.
Whether channeling Garcia’s tone or reimagining Americana classics, Cats On The Bus keeps the music alive, fluid, and dancing forward.

Joe Kenney Enterprises: Testimonials
“My child has enjoyed having Joe as his piano teacher. What Ive really appreciated is that Joe has tailored the instruction to match the interests of his students. Because of this, my son enjoys practicing his piano and looks forward to his lessons.”
- Tony D, Spring City, PA
“[Another Side] is emotive but also spiritually uplifting, as it makes you look at your own life with fresh eyes. The lyrics shine through the musical styles, which are seamlessly stitched together.”
- Lucy Lerner, Neon Magazine
“I'll admit, I'm a pretty harsh judge when it comes to covers but when an artist is able to completely re-imagine a song, in a totally different format....you have my attention. Joe Kenney has my attention.”
- Wendy Rollins (Radio Personality, 104.5 Philadelphia)
on Sophomore album, "1.5."
Joe Kenney is an award-winning pianist, recording artist, composer, and a voting member of the Grammys. He provides music instruction, manages artists, and advocates for mental health awareness. Joe hails from the greater Philadelphia area.
Joe has released five albums and countless collaborations. Musically, these productions span multiple genres. They reflect a cohesive blend of classical, jazz, rock, soul, and hip-hop elements. Joe has garnered praise for both his original compositions and cover arrangements.
His debut solo piano album, Afflictions and Remedies (2015), received local airplay. It was also praised as a "painting of a piano at work" by Meredith Hairston, who put the album in rotation at WJSU in Jackson, MS.
In 2016, Joe went to work on an album of jazz and classical-inspired arrangements of alternative rock and Top 40 hits. Released in February 2016 and titled “1.5,” the album was recognized on broadcast radio 104.5 Philadelphia and featured on iHeartRadio. DJ Wendy Rollins characterized Joe's cover of the Twenty One Pilots song Stressed Out as "perfection" and went on to applaud him for "re-imagining songs in a completely different format."
Following the success of his first two solo piano albums, Joe expanded by adding formats to his repertoire. Working with a full band, he honed in on a jazz fusion sound while retaining the classically informed harmonies from his first two albums. An EP of three singles was released in 2017, which became the foundation and inspiration for the 2020 album Forth.
In March 2018, Joe released 2.5, his third full studio album in as many years. Showcasing multiple styles and varying instrumentation, 2.5 features distinctively energized reinterpretations of eight alternative rock hits. The first half of the album features two full-group instrumental tracks and two vocal arrangements. The second half of the album features solo piano re-imaginings of four additional songs. Two tracks from the project were placed on the official iHeartRadio “Instrumental Pop Covers” playlist.
In August 2018, Joe made waves with his debut orchestral performance. The Chester County Pops premiered his original work Zera alongside a performance of Chopin's Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise Brillante.
In 2019, Kenney started recording his fourth album. His biggest undertaking to date features six highly decorated vocal artists from the Philadelphia area on a ten-track original album. The music is geared to markets that cross multiple musical styles. The first single, Another Side (Ft. Joy Ike), released on May 8th, 2020, was premiered by Neon Music (UK) and earned a glowing review. Featured on The Key/WXPN, popular radio personality Helen Leight selected it as the Philly Local pick. The next two releases, All's Not Lost (Ft. Laura Lizcano), and Gone (Ft Aaron Parnell Brown), also garnered spectacular reviews.
On October 23rd, 2020, the full album – Forth – was released to all platforms. It won a Bronze Medal in the Global Music Awards and has been featured on over eighty-five Radio Stations in the U.S. and Canada.
A year after the release of Forth, in October 2021, Joe Kenney Band brought the Forth Tour to fruition. The four-piece band performed concerts for enthusiastic crowds in Cleveland, OH; Louisville, KY; Birmingham, AL; New York, NY; Wayne, PA; and Wilmington, DE.
After the momentum of the group's first tour together, Joe and his band maintained an impressively active schedule in 2022, with debuts at World Cafe Live, TIME on Sansom, Heritage, SOUTH Jazz Club, City Winery, Kennett Brewing Company Jazz Fest, and a weekly residency at Root Down Brewing Company in Phoenixville.
Root Down Brewing Co. collaborated with Joe on a beer that commemorates and bears the same name as the Reflections on Inner Transformation album. Released in May, 2022, "Reflections" debuted at 15 on the Zone Music Reporter charts. The album was also minted as an NFT project, with Joe partnering with his The Proper Hustlers bandmate and cryptocurrency guru Chris Fox.
December 2022 saw the release of "Prevailing," a classical/cinematic collaboration between Joe and fellow West Chester University alumna, violinist Hope Linton. Prevailing debuted at #2 on the One World Music Radio Charts, and the album received an overwhelmingly positive response, with a flurry of reviews celebrating the composition and the Record.
New music, eclectic collaborations, a bevy of shows, and prolific releases continued as the theme of 2023. Joe produced nine studio releases and reached over 1 Million total Spotify plays. Between his six bands and solo efforts, he performed in over 125 shows. At the same time, Joe focused on content creation online, amassing over 1,000 subscribers on Youtube, and creating a multitude of symphonic works ready to be arranged for full orchestra.
In 2023, Joe also teamed up with Katie Butler and Candice Johnson-Lindsay to create, organize, and curate the inaugural Harmonic Hope & Healing Festival, which brought awareness to music therapy and mental health initiatives.
HHH Fest took place on 5/5/24 in Philadelphia and featured a star-studded six-band lineup, a sound healing space, vendors, and practitioner demonstrations.
