Kenny Noble Cortes is an American radio personality, musician, and prolific Christian songwriter. Kenny and his family crisscrossed the country, working for radio stations in Houston, Chicago, Seattle, L.A. and Miami coming to rest in Denver, Colorado in 2003. In 2010 he joined the K-LOVE and Air1 Radio Networks for nearly seven inspiring years. After stepping down from K-LOVE and retiring from radio in the fall of 2016, Kenny focused on his music. In December of that year, he was invited to become the acoustic guitarist for the Christian rock band, Renewed. After two great years including a God-given Easter Sunday concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, he and his wife Kay moved to North Georgia and settled into their new home in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. “Culture Jock” takes you from the author’s first crystal radio set to a hot air balloon crash to being named 1977 Major Market Air Personality of The Year while at KLOL Houston. Not only did the culture evolve during the upheaval years of the 60s, 70s and continuing into the new century, but the author, a believer in Christ, struggled to adapt, and when he couldn’t, his decades-long marriage and faith were at risk of disintegrating as he danced with the devil and returned to his favorite addiction and the ways of the world! If you haven’t met Kenny during a performance at Acoustic Blends at Ellijay’s Premier Listening Room in The Playhouse, you are in for a treat on May 1st when he signs his book, answers questions, and meets with book lovers in Ellijay, at The George Link jr Gilmer Arts Playhouse. The public is welcome. No admittance fee, books will be for sale.
