Growing up in the remote community of Ivanhoe in Western NSW with red dirt between his toes and soul in his heart, Dane Kennedy was oblivious to the fact music would change his whole outlook on life. Dane had always had huge musical influences in his life with his Grandparents Roy and Beryl Kennedy both being very talented musicians through to hearing old time soul, blues, rock and country albums blasted through family record players. But it wasn't until recent years a well respected Aboriginal Elder by the name of Cedric Briggs opened his heart giving Dane his prized guitar quoting the words "My old fingers cant play this anymore, you make good use of it". With that quote Dane took that guitar and began his journey teaching himself and using his heart and soul to create a unique acoustic soul sound. Dane is based in Wagga Wagga NSW and has recently travelled the USA recording his first original track titled "In My Mind" which was written for his brother who committed suicide. It expresses his struggle to come to terms with the fact he could not return to what he had with his brother. But also if he could go back how would it affect his current life.
