 The
Kinchafoonee Cowboys began in December, 1991 in a pecan
orchard in Terrell County, GA. The original group consisted
of Shane Cannon, Keith Cromartie, Brad Hallford, Chad McGrath,
and Glenn Tennyson, who all grew up in the Albany / Leesburg
area. The band's popularity began around Albany and soon
spread to Athens where several members were in school.
During the next ten years, Kinchafoonee became a favorite
around the state of Georgia, playing all types of venues
from small clubs to large outdoor festivals. Over the years
the group has shared billing with entertainers such as John
Anderson, Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio, Tracy Lawrence,
Martina McBride, Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler, Dave
Matthews Band, and many others.
The Kinchafoonee Cowboys have released three studio albums.
The first, Sowega, was recorded in Athens, GA in 1991 at
Saturn Recording Studio. Their second album, Deep Dark Water,
was recorded in Nashville, TN at the Home Place Studio in
1994. The latest release from the band, Kinchafoonee, was
recorded at Mark Maxwell's studio in Athens in 1998. The
group also released a single, Sic Em Dawgs, in 2001.
In 1998, original guitarist Brad Hallford left the band
to pursue a career in law enforcement. He was replaced by
guitarist Chris Scarborough. At the same time, keyboardist
Jason Fuller joined the group, giving an extra dimension
to the band's sound.
The Kinchafoonee Cowboys continue to tour throughout the
state of Georgia regularly.
