Kenny Sharp’s Stomp & Holler, featuring Mikki Brayboy, is a raucous celebration of life’s simple pleasures, wrapped in a country folk-esque package that’ll make your boots tap and your heart soar.
Sharp’s soulful voice dives headfirst into tales of whisky-soaked evenings and smoke-filled bars, painting vivid pictures of small-town Friday nights.
His lyrics skip the clichés, opting instead for raw, honest snapshots, “I like to roll em when I smoke em, and I only smoke em when I drink.” Not exactly profound; it’s real.
Enter Mikki Brayboy, whose honeyed tones bring a dash of sweet tea to his neat whisky, crooning about her baby, “always fussin and he’s cussin / but he always lovin me.” Their voices dance around each other, a perfect yin and yang.
The instrumentation? It’s a hoedown in your headphones. Banjo riffs ricochet off punchy percussion. Strings swoop and soar. It’s organised chaos, mirroring the beautiful mess of everyday life.
But let’s talk about that chorus, “I just stomp and holler,” four words that capture the essence of letting loose and shaking off the week’s worries in a karaoke bar.
It’s not about hitting the right notes; it’s about hitting the right feeling.
Stomp & Holler doesn’t pretend to be deep. Instead, it revels in the shallow end of life’s pool, reminding us that sometimes it’s okay to splash around and make some noise.
It’s an anthem for the off-key singers, the three-sheets-to-the-wind dancers, and the folks who find joy in the madness of a crowded bar on a Friday night.
Kenny Sharp and Mikki Brayboy have crafted a song that’s both an escape and a homecoming. It whisks you away to a world of crisp blue jeans and karaoke dreams, then brings you back to your own little corners of happiness.
Since it’s Friday, it’s safe to pour yourself a drink (neat or sweet, your choice) and get ready to stomp and holler along.
This track isn’t trying to change the world; it’s just here to make your world a little bit brighter, one rabble-rousing chorus at a time.

Kenny Sharps Stomp & Holler ft. Mikki Brayboy Lyrics
Verse 1 Kenny:
Running away, sun in my face,
Learning to wait,
Whats coming my way,
As time goes by we learn to love the little things,
We don’t get what we want,
We find out what we really need.
Chorus
I like my whisky neat, and my crisp blue jeans
l like to roll em when I smoke em
And I only smoke em when I drink
And on Friday at the bar when I’m three sheets to the breeze
Oh i like the karaoke but i dont know how to sing
I just stomp and holler
I just stomp and holler
Verse 2
Valleys and hills,
Tragedies and thrills,
Laying in the still,
Till you cover me in chills
As time goes by we learn to love the little things,
We don’t get what we want,
We find out what we really need.
Chorus Miki:
I like my sweet sweet tea,
and my baby next to me,
always fussin and he’s cussin,
but he always lovin me
and on Friday at the bar when I’m three sheets to the breeze
oh i like the karaoke but i dont know how to sing
I just stomp and holler
I just stomp and holler
