line of Tennessee fiddlers. His Grandfather and Father both were fiddlers and
his brother, Sonny was a Winfield banjo champion. Kenny placed three times at
the Winfield Flatpicking Championship. He also won the Merle Watson Guitar championship.
Numerous awards include being voted three time winner of the Society Preservation

project, Studebaker gained him recognition as not only a guitarist but a singer/songwriter
as well.
