Kenny Collins

Kenny Collins is the common thread that runs through many aspects of the music scene in northwestern New Jersey. He began as a singer songwriter, releasing his CD, The Collins Brothers A Taste of Summer, independently in early 2001. His close friendship with Matt Angus of Black Potatoe Records / Entertainment / Productions brought him to the stages of the Black Potatoe Music Festival, first as a performer and later as an organizer and stage manager.

In early 2005 his lifelong passion for musical expression led to his first position as a DJ for HomegrownradioNJ.com where his talents were recognized by the staff at WNTI and he was offered a slot as an FM DJ. He has been simmering up a mix of folk, blues, rock, jammie, alt and indie on his show Suppertime Stew since the beginning of 2007.

Kenny is a contributor to Upstage Magazine (www.upstagemagazine.com), a free monthly guide to intelligent nightlife in New Jersey. He is also the Programming Director for www.DYIRadio.com, Black Potatoe's internet radio station broadcasting live from The Stanhope House.
