Kidd Cincinnati, born and raised as Roger Gentry, listened to an eclectic mix of music around the family home. Listening to him perform, it's clear that he was truly immersed in a wide range of artists and styles. He was offered a guitar in Junior High, but fate stepped in when a friend shared the harmonica with Roger around 1970. The Blues came into the young man's life and after joining bands like "Beouwulf" and "Sinbad & Fat Chance", he played throughout northern Cincinnati for several years. While working in the corporate world during the 2000's, the creative bug bit again and Roger reinvented himself as "Kidd Cincinnati". The young man who left those streets long ago had, in a way, returned to his youth.
