Caleb Kenner, a name soon to be recognised in country music, brings heartfelt storytelling and small-town authenticity to the genre...
With the release of his debut single, Back Then (22nd November 2024), Caleb invites listeners to explore his roots in Hebron, Nebraska—a town of just 1,300 people—and the moments and memories that shaped him.
Growing up in Hebron, Caleb was no stranger to adventure. Raised in a bustling household with three older sisters and a family deeply rooted in the community, his childhood was filled with lively interactions, sports, and the occasional rule-bending to combat the quiet monotony of small-town life. Yet, even as a mischievous kid, Caleb had two grounding forces: his uncle Kevin and grandpa Roger. “They kept me humble and taught me to enjoy life and be good to people,” Caleb reflects.
Caleb’s connection to music blossomed in high school, where he was active in band and vocal groups, though his playful spirit often tested the patience of his teachers. After graduation, he pursued basketball in college, where he met his wife, Abby. While his initial career path was in franchising, music had always lingered in the background. In 2021, a Christmas gift from Abby—a guitar—sparked what would become his life’s true calling.
With no formal training, Caleb began writing songs that were deeply personal, beginning with a heartfelt tribute to his uncle and grandfather. This newfound passion grew into a career as a singer-songwriter, blending influences from country heavyweights like Morgan Wallen, HARDY, and Bailey Zimmerman with his own unique experiences.
His debut single, Back Then, reflects Caleb’s journey from mischievous child to devoted husband and father of four. The track combines traditional country elements with a modern edge, pairing steel guitar and acoustic melodies with a driving beat. Its lyrics paint a vivid picture of his childhood escapades and the people who shaped him, offering a relatable snapshot of growing up in small-town America.
As Caleb embarks on this new chapter, he’s focused on connecting with audiences through live shows, radio appearances, and heartfelt music. With Back Then, he’s already making waves, proving that authentic stories and genuine talent can resonate with listeners far beyond the borders of Hebron.
This is only the beginning for Caleb Kenner, whose passion for music and life’s lessons promise a bright future in country music. Back Then is now streaming on all major platforms.
