Kenny Howes and the Yeah! has performed headlining sell-out shows at Atlanta music venues and have opened for such artists as Jonathon Richman, Alex Chilton, Pat DiNizio (of The Smithereens), and Marshall Crenshaw. Kenny Howes and the Yeah! has been featured in the Atlanta music magazine Stomp and Stammer and has received constant critical praise and coverage from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Creative Loafing, Ink Nineteen, In Music We Trust, JAM, Popsided, Pop Matters, Blunt Review, Bucketful of Brains (England), JEM Magazine (Japan), and Ruta 66 (Spain).

Kenny Howes has released five independent CDs of his own material, "nothing wrong with that" (1995), "Kenny Howes' Second Album" (1996), "Back To You Today!" (1998), the compilation "The Right Idea" (2000), and "Kenny Howes and the Yeah!" (2002). "No two ways about it, Kenny
Howes writes and performs some excellent power pop. It only takes one listen
to "Kenny Howes and the Yeah!" to realize that as truth.”
"I seriously think that if
Howes was a Backstreet Boy look-a-like instead of flaunting mutton-chop
sideburns, he would've been on every radio by now."
"Some of the sharpest power
pop that I've ever heard…the songs are powerful – not just musically, but
emotionally"
"A smashup collection of killer pop. Once again, it's those super clean vocals
and harmonies that send these compositions way up into the clouds and away. A
clean hit. I can't figure out why a record company has not signed this fellow.
Kenny Howes is one of the best kept secrets in the Southeast"
