Eloquently Speaking:
As a parent and manager, what are the highs and lows of overseeing your children's career?
Mr. & Mrs. McKenney:
The Highs are to be at rehearsal and watch how hard each member works to perfect the craft, watching the fellas film study on their Own and coming Up with their Own Choreography and to see the Final Performance come across on Stage is Priceless.
The Lows are the Folks that come along and state they can't do this and do that but are just a bunch of talk and are pure Fake Snakes We Call Them.
Biography
On December 4 ,2010 MACFOUR was created by father Kevin Mc Kenney and MACFOUR member Kevin {KJ} Mc Kenney then age 9.
While rocking to New Edition “Heart Break” father Kevin Mc Kenney got up and did a NE move and bet KJ he couldn't hit the move…but he did and the 2 other members K'Von {Mr. Kool}, K-Love {The Dancer} and Keith {Duck} joined in.
On December 7th after coming home from work, KJ asked Kevin when they were going to rehearse. Kevin then informed KJ that New Edition rehearsed and prepared hard every day to get where they are today. With that in mind, MACFOUR! began their daily routine of school and rehearsals, eventually landing their first performance on August 2011.
Since then MACFOUR! has performed in several shows in the DMV, Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia region.
Thanks to promoters like Anthony Jeter, who selected MACFOUR! to represent in several “The Baltimore Superfest” presentations.
Other opportunities came like Christmas shows, school dances, NowTown/Motown Revue, WOLB Radio with Doni Glover, Fox 45 Good Day Baltimore, and BigWalkTV Weekly Review.
