[[Category:March|March 03]]
Early in his career, Kennedy played guitar for a [[jazz fusion]] group called [http://www.worldjazzscene.com/jim-templeton.html Cosmic Dust]. Kennedy's guitar-work with Cosmic Dust was very advanced; using his knowledge of jazz theory in conjunction with his advanced technical abilities, Kennedy created the sound of traditional jazz guitar coupled with a more fusion-rock tone. He was not only able to imply chord changes on the fly (a difficult technique used in jazz) but also shred with speed and precision. When Anderson left Cosmic Dust and Moment's Notice to move to Seattle, he was replaced by Spokane bassist Dave Turner. Myles had been working on a new band that would be an outlet for his original material and they were in need of a bassist. Dave Turner joined Kennedy, guitarist Craig Johnson, trumpeteer Geoff Miller and drummer Mike Tschirgi to form Citizen Swing.

Following his stint with Cosmic Dust, Kennedy provided vocals and played guitar for Citizen Swing. A [[MySpace]] page dedicated to the band provides full tracks of "Motor Mama" and "Can't Complain", two of the band's songs original songs ([http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=59971144 link]). The band played their first gig in late 1993 at the Big Dipper, Spokane, WA and their last gig in June 1996. Kennedy had been collaborating with the future members of The Mayfield Four since summer 1995, and with the departure of Citizen Swing's bassist in late 1995 to pursue family and other interests, the door was opened for Citizen Swing to wind down and The Mayfield Four to rise.

By August of 1996, Kennedy had became the lead singer/lead guitarist of [[The Mayfield Four]], a rock band formed in 1996 with childhood friends Zia Uddin, Marty Meisner, and Craig Johnson (also of Citizen Swing). The Mayfield Four enjoyed a lot of success opening for bands like [[Creed (band)|Creed]], [[Fuel (band)|Fuel]], and many others. Due to undisclosed reasons, Craig Johnson was fired in 1999 and the band continued on as a threesome, with a substitute rhythm guitarist but unofficial band member, up through their final gig. They released 3 CDs, [[Motion (EP)|Motion]], [[Fallout (Mayfield Four album)|Fallout]], and [[Second Skin]]. Though popular, they never garnered enough popularity to break the big time.

After The Mayfield Four officially split in 2002, Kennedy was asked by [[Slash (musician)|Slash]] to audition as lead singer of [[Velvet Revolver]], but he declined the offer,<ref name="VH1">
[http://www.vh1.com/artists/interview/1490485/20040823/alter_bridge.jhtml VH1 Interview]</ref> and two years later, he was called up by Creed guitarist [[Mark Tremonti]] asking to join a new band he was forming since Creed had recently broke up. Also comprised of former Creed members [[Scott Phillips]] and [[Brian Marshall]], the newly formed band [[Alter Bridge]] went on to release two albums, [[One Day Remains]] and [[Blackbird (album)|Blackbird]] and are currently writing material for a third and as of yet untitled third album, and will be shooting a live DVD at the [[Brixton Academy]] in [[London]] on November 8, 2008.

During his current stint with Alter Bridge, Kennedy appeared on [[Fozzy]]'s 2005 album ''[[All That Remains (album)|All That Remains]]'' as a guest vocalist on the song "Nameless Faceless", and also appears as a backing vocalist on the [[Sevendust]] song "Sorrow" from 2008 album [[Chapter VII: Hope & Sorrow]]. His Alter Bridge band mate [[Mark Tremonti]] also appears on the album, performing a guitar solo on the song "Hope."
