Please pass along to Kenny how much I and the entire the group at the GPA Midstream Association enjoyed his talk on September 18 in San Antonio. Kenny energized the crowd that day with his story and his music. Here’s a link to the article about Kenny that went out to our members today: Famed drummer Kenny Aronoff energizes GPA Midstream convention. Several people stopped me over the following days to tell me that Kenny was the best keynote speaker we have ever had at our event. I also personally enjoyed meeting Kenny and getting to know him a bit over dinner this past Sunday. I feel certain that he could entertain a crowd for a long time with the stories about the people he has worked with over his career. He’s a world-class entertainer with a humble personality when he meets people. Be on the lookout for a speaker for us in September 2024. It will be tough to top Kenny.

“Hi Kenny! On behalf of our staff and members, I wanted to say thank you for a great performance at our 2022 Winter Meeting this past weekend in Wausau, Wisconsin. All feedback received so far has been nothing short of positive. Our members truly enjoyed your presentation, and your performance was extremely engaging. You were so gracious to have dinner with our group, meet our members and pose for photographs. In my ten years of planning these events for our chapter, I have never seen as many of our members take to the dance floor as they did on Saturday night while you were playing. You were such a huge “hit” at our meeting, that you created a memorable event our members will be talking about for years to come. You were so pleasant to work with that I hope we cross paths in the future. Thank you again for the fantastic weekend,”

“Kenny, It was our great pleasure to have you at our meeting. One word…..AWESOME!! People are still talking about you! I hope you had a good time with us as well! I look forward to inviting you back to a future meeting.”

“Kenny Aronoff is the total package! In my 30+ years of marketing and organizing events all over the world, few keynote speakers have had such a significant impact on an audience, such as Kenny! He was passionate! He was engaging! He was charismatic! Kenny shared life-lessons and lessons learned from the music industry that were entirely relatable to the business arena. Leadership, communications, creativity, collaboration, innovation, passion, and teamwork are all key values of any organization. Achieving these values are lofty goals for any organization, or culture. These values drive business results. Then he created a one of the most memorable moments I have ever personally witnessed. Kenny played a medley of hits on his drums that completely ROCKED our audience! Every conference attendee had their phone out to capture the moment. They were singing and/or weaving enthusiastically in their chairs. It was an absolutely incredible performance. At the end, 400+ business leaders rewarded his effort with a thunderous standing ovation! But there is one thing that really separates Kenny Aronoff from traditional keynote speakers. The majority of keynotes simply deliver their presentation and leave the venue immediately, per their “contractual agreement”. He stayed for the entire event and greeted every attendee who wanted to meet and talk with him. It is not often the average person gets to personally meet a true legend – much less a famous music legend. I received many verbal and written responses from attendees that they were shocked at how friendly, humble, intelligent, and conversational Kenny was. Needless to say, he created a whole new legion of fans in the Mid-West! As an event organizer, Kenny was the consummate professional to work with. Aside from his amazing talent, I so appreciated his positive energy and willingness to engage at every step in the process. The bottom line is, I give Kenny Aronoff my highest recommendation as a Keynote Speaker for any event. He’s simply the best!”“Kenny Aronoff is the total package!

“Wow. That’s all I can say is Wow! What an amazing Keynote! Kenny Aronoff’s energy and enthusiasm during his presentation kept the audience engaged and looking for more. We had many members say they wrote down thoughts about how they could implement Kenny’s ideas on how to work together for the greater good of the team and set themselves apart through hard work and commitment. Kenny was the perfect Keynote Speaker to wrap up our event! Kenny Aronoff is an insightful, energetic and entertaining speaker with thought-provoking ideas who did a terrific job! He made a huge impact on our group and made the event a huge success! I highly recommend considering what he has to say and to inviting him to speak at your event. He kept the audience riveted for a full hour. It was impressive.”

“Fantastic show. Kenny is a terrific speaker and performer. High energy. Yet smooth and polished. I remember all the trade show conventions I went to where there was some luncheon or dinner where there was some motivational speaker, usually a washed up athlete telling old stories. They were so boring I would fall asleep and my face would fall into the pudding. Long and short of it. In my business career I have seen dozens of motivational speakers, including an astronaut who walked on the moon, and Kenny puts all of them to shame. This guy is the real deal. I like the way he adapted his talk for your purposes, referencing tools and the need to adapt or die. He really put his heart and soul into this for you. Obviously a really great guy.”

“My students are still buzzing with enthusiasm and insight from your recent guest lecture. One thing I’d like to pass along to you (as someone who’s worked with college kids for a long, long time) is that you seem to have a special gift for connecting with this cohort–not just in a way that’s informative and entertaining, but also in a way that is “changing.” I’ve seen a lot of talented, high-level keynote speakers come and go. Yes, you are good at speaking to a room full of individuals. But you have that higher-level ability to go beyond speaking to an audience, into the realm of connecting with each audience member individually/personally, so that in the moment you are “with them and bonding one to one.” I mean this seriously, Kenny–not just as a fan trying to blow ingratiating smoke.”

“Kenny is such a force, he’s such a physical force–that’s the thing you have to start with–he is a ball of fucking energy who’s bringing it. He reminds me of some of our great pass rushers, like Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis!”

“I think he is, without a doubt, one of the greats. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the greatest in the world and I’m lucky enough to have him in my band. I know Kenny has his own idols that he looks up to, and so do I, and he’s right there as far as his ability and his personality–as far as how he plays and presents the music that he’s doing–he’s at the very top of the mountain.”

“Our success was a matter of a million things, but of course Kenny’s dedication to work–which I don’t think anyone could ever slight in any fashion–was a big factor. There’s no question that Kenny can tough it out, and everybody who knows Kenny would have to admire him for that.”
