Blues Great Kenny Neal PDF Print E-mail
Blues great Kenny Neal has told the Chittlin Circuit today that he will be putting down his guitar after his North Carolina tour this weekend.
The reason being that this coming Monday he will begin treatments for a undisclosed illness. Kenny, who now resides in California, posted a message to his friends and fans yesterday where he said "A few months ago, during a routine physical, I was told by my doctor that I have an illness that required extensive treatment and plenty of rest. The doctor said that the treatment would take 48 weeks."
Let's all show Kenny that we are all in his corner and wishing him the best. You can send your cards and letters to his office at:

Kenny Neal
3790 El Camino Real
#168
Palo Alto, Ca., 94306

Kenny also tells us that he will be releasing his new Christmas CD by the end of October which will be ready for sale on his web site:

Dear Friends, Family and Fans,

Through the years I have entertained you, spent time with you,
gotten to know many of you, and can call many of you my friend. I
enjoy making music for you more than you will ever know. And you
have shown your appreciation for my efforts in so many ways. I am
and will always be grateful for your support, your enjoyment and
your friendship.

Now I must take this opportunity to share something personal with
you. A few months ago, during a routine physical, I was told by my
doctor that I have an illness that required extensive treatment and
plenty of rest. The doctor said that the treatment would take 48
weeks. However, they said I could finish out the summer schedule of
festivals and club dates before I began the treatment. That was
very important to me, as I wanted to see all of you before I
started. Due to the extensiveness of the treatment, I must take a
year off from performing. This in no way diminishes my love of the
blues, nor does it mean that I won't be involved with all of you.
You see, I am sending out my band, including the addition of my son,
Kenny Jr., daughter, Syreeta and nephew, Tyree to carry on the Kenny
Neal tradition. They will be my emissaries. They will keep you
posted as to my progress. I know your love and support for me will
carry over to them. I am still recording music at home, finishing
up my Christmas CD as you read this.

The Kenny Neal Band that will be representing me, looks forward to
bringing you great "blues" joy in the future. There will be many
surprise guests sitting in with them so be sure to continue checking
the website calendar. We will all keep you informed and I welcome
your letters and your prayers. Thank you for always being there for
me. God Bless and Good Blues To You. You can write me at the
address below or you can email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , I
prefer a written letter since I'll have alot of time to read.

All The Best,
Kenny Neal
