About

Bryan Kennedy is a storyteller at heart, whether it’s through a song, a book, or a good laugh shared from the stage. A former college football player at Ole Miss and recipient of the John Howard Vaught Award of Excellence presented to a senior athlete for their; dedication, morale, performance and scholastic ability. Bryan took the grit and teamwork of the gridiron and carried it into a wildly creative life that’s anything but ordinary.

He’s penned over 15 songs recorded by Garth Brooks, including three #1 hits, and spent over a decade on tour as Garth’s Road Manager and opening act, performing for sold-out arenas around the world. But Bryan’s creative fire never stayed in just one lane.

He’s the author of the heartfelt memoir Andy Wouldn’t Let Me, the life-coaching playbook Chalk Talk Vol. 1, the edge-of-your-seat thriller, The Lost Dog and his inspiring new book Bring Your Own Happy, and his first book of Poems entitled What Rhymes with Bryan.

His love for performance and humor also led him to write and star in two original musical comedies, Toe Roaster and Mistletoe Roaster.

Bryan holds a degree in journalism with a minor in recreation, and as the founder of The Bellwether Way, he now channels his experience into life coaching, offering leadership and guidance beyond the field, stage or court. Where others focus on stats or game plans, Bryan focuses on the soul, helping people find clarity, courage, and purpose.

When he’s not writing, you’ll find him deep in a fitness routine, out on a motorcycle journey, performing original songs, or mentoring the next generation. No matter the medium, Bryan Kennedy is committed to telling the truth, lifting others up, and living life wide open.
