Mickey Kennedy was born and raised on a cattle and tobacco farm in Clarksville Tennessee, just north of Nashville. He comes from a very musical family including country music legend Kitty Wells. From the early age of 9, Mickey began singing in church, community events and family functions. He further pursued his musical interests at The University of Tennessee and then Austin Peay University before ultimately making a permanent move to Nashville Tennessee. Music Square Productions, a Nashville based talent and management agency, signed Mickey to a development deal that put him on internationally syndicated radio show “Live at Libby’s” as well as frequent performances at several famous Nashville venues including The Wildhorse Saloon, Tootsies, and Opryland. Mickey brings his incredible voice, energetic stage presence, and passion as a performer to The Ranchhands.
