Our Story

Ivory are:

Kenny Knox | Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards, and other instruments

Gordon Koenig | Drums, Percussion, and occasional backing vocals

Taking advantage of opportunities and gaining experience throughout these, Kenny has performed on stage with the likes of Angry Anderson and Colleen Hewitt in Australia and has performed with The Australian Welsh Male Choir across the country and was vocally trained for a period by opera singer Greg Dempsey which has improved and strengthened his voice to meet the vocal requirements to perform rock anthems and power ballads, soft pop and hard rock. Kenny also fronted Australian rock band, Ivory, and Melbourne cover band 4 Ton of Rock and performed with both bands in Melbourne and surrounding areas between the years of 2001 and 2004 where they eventually built up a reputation and began gaining recognition within the industry prior to the 2004 tragedy of Kenny losing his wife – bass player and songwriter of Ivory.

Kenny and Gordon are keen to continue their love of rock music and are working on new songs and a new album. They no longer live in the same country but that doesn't stop them. Most of the recordings since 2005 have been made after many phone calls and sending files back and forth until they are happy with the parts and the mix.

With legends of rock akin to Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Queen dominating his list of musical inspirations, Kenny Knox is now branding his own style of rock with echoes of these powerful voices and melodies evident throughout his music.

Whilst a live Ivory show is doubtful to transpire, you may catch either Kenny or Gordon in other endeavours; Gordon plays occasionally with bands in the A.C.T. in Australia, and keep your eyes open in Scotland and the UK where Kenny may do some solo shows featuring many of the songs written for Ivory plus some others.
