The band includes lead vocalist Calliman (Callie) Estes, guitarists Paul Trevino and Derek Sanders, bassist Brian Bolin and drummer Darrick (D.C.) Caster.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Callie's gripping vocal ability is a testament to both a high level of musicianship and a life-time of musical training, including guitar, keyboard and percussion.  His edgy, emotional lyrics and commanding stage presence make him the perfect front man for this premier ensemble.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Paul and Derek are a masterful duo.  Their virtuosic, energy-charged guitar riffs combine to form driving chord progressions and complex harmonies.  As one of the original two Kennedy guitarists, Paul is a staple in the band and brings much to the table both on and off the stage.   The late addition of Derek brought not only another skilled guitarist to the group, but also a creative personality with the drive to match Kennedy’s aggressive ambition.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Brian's body art parallels his unique, aggressive stage presence and bass lines.  He manages the lanes of the stage like a front man and commands his fret board like a master.  A founding member of the band, Brian is a key element to the look and feel of this ensemble.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   The pure raw ability apparent in the intricate rhythmic styles of drummer D.C. propels each song with dramatic authority.  Dynamically and metronomically, Darrick Caster performs at an expert level, never missing a beat.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   With the success of their debut EP “Set it Off” and the up-coming release of their highly anticipated debut album “Diaries Vol. 1,” Kennedy represents Dallas-Fort Worth across the United States and the world with a vengeance.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Kennedy","playStationPath":"/stations/279682082/play","stationId":279682082,"bioPath":"/music/Kennedy/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/3+Doors+Down","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3e0/3e0201f2e254f49be43defee8ae3f787_md.jpg","artistName":"3 Doors Down","artistId":6,"station_id":113264923},{"musicPath":"/music/Avril+Lavigne","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e14/e14e981239e7b3fdc7932dc495397fe4_md.jpg","artistName":"Avril Lavigne","artistId":1368,"station_id":113261856},{"musicPath":"/music/Green+Day","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/655/655c398fd395d58a3ef18d14f7263349_md.jpg","artistName":"Green Day","artistId":427,"station_id":113263825},{"musicPath":"/music/Three+Days+Grace","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/32d/32dd9cfba7b8d035949f5ca275322916_md.jpg","artistName":"Three Days Grace","artistId":10257,"station_id":113262770},{"musicPath":"/music/Paramore","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d9f/d9f02ab91d292c28c092703fa7c42c79_md.jpg","artistName":"Paramore","artistId":10615,"station_id":113262334},{"musicPath":"/music/Avenged+Sevenfold","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b5f/b5f385b741725b8e28c2b218df89a602_md.jpg","artistName":"Avenged Sevenfold","artistId":10279,"station_id":113263693},{"musicPath":"/music/12+Stones","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ba7/ba7a5783a0a34fd9ca71513c0dc0e975_md.jpg","artistName":"12 Stones","artistId":6294,"station_id":113266386},{"musicPath":"/music/Silverstein","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b34/b346ec040326dedefed06b529b8150bd_md.jpg","artistName":"Silverstein","artistId":11454,"station_id":113262157},{"musicPath":"/music/Nickelback","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4b2/4b2a354c40da4807edf10270948d2c70_md.jpg","artistName":"Nickelback","artistId":2534,"station_id":113262346},{"musicPath":"/music/Papa+Roach","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5cb/5cb7a1dfcd75af3366c8d7b5dc66e308_md.jpg","artistName":"Papa Roach","artistId":1975,"station_id":113262057},{"musicPath":"/music/Atreyu","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ad0/ad00cb21ff06ac4efa7ad1cef4aa887f_md.jpg","artistName":"Atreyu","artistId":10278,"station_id":113265387},{"musicPath":"/music/Linkin+Park","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/688/6887990173d626da367db890e7860eef_md.jpg","artistName":"Linkin Park","artistId":1130,"station_id":113262805},{"musicPath":"/music/Theory+of+a+Deadman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/521/52116a50cbb2ce0503601506ff09585b_md.jpg","artistName":"Theory of a Deadman","artistId":10254,"station_id":113264872},{"musicPath":"/music/Flyleaf","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d88/d8822f20dc6e22be60895d387bb2922e_md.jpg","artistName":"Flyleaf","artistId":10398,"station_id":113262200},{"musicPath":"/music/Daughtry","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8a0/8a0e9fa5de61097fcb851384b3378821_md.jpg","artistName":"Daughtry","artistId":10349,"station_id":113286950},{"musicPath":"/music/Breaking+Benjamin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/54d/54d9cb4859d5fad8f9c306d07d64a556_md.jpg","artistName":"Breaking Benjamin","artistId":2120,"station_id":113262402},{"musicPath":"/music/Staind","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/71a/71a5248a2723df026d82b487b2a8ec92_md.jpg","artistName":"Staind","artistId":9717,"station_id":113264367},{"musicPath":"/music/Lacuna+Coil","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b4f/b4f495f58684269d179995e65cb71cf6_md.jpg","artistName":"Lacuna Coil","artistId":10337,"station_id":113267206}]}
