Kenzie Joy's second album, Why Not, comes out March 25.

The wait is over for those who’ve been waiting to see what acoustic teen queen Kenzie Joy was going to do next. At the ripe age of 14, her sophomore album Why Not drops this weekend with 10 new original tracks. The new tunes show off Kenzie’s maturing talent vocally, instrumentally, and lyrically. (Talk about a triple threat.)

Miss Joy has definitely been fine-tuning the raw talent she surprised us all with last year. For now, she has settled somewhere between the lush chanteuse style of Norah Jones (see  Match Made) and the quirky risk-taking of Regina Spektor (check out the unique vocal stylings in Saturday Night).

If you’re a fan of this folk star on the rise, or if you haven’t heard her yet, don’t miss her CD release concert at the Mabel Tainter Theatre on Friday, March 25. It all starts at 7:30pm, tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. You can also check out her website for more tracks, and find her first album (also available at The Local Store).
