The Music

Her album How Do You Miss Me features songs including the Josie Award-winning “Comin’ Up Cowboy,” “Back Up Girl,” “Windows Rolled Down,” “Pinocchio,” “I Plant My Own” and the title track.

Her latest single, “People Who Say Hi,” explores a different side of McKenna’s artistry. Built around the value of kindness and genuine human connection, the song reflects on a world where something as simple as a smile, a handshake or taking the time to ask someone how they’re doing can mean more than ever.
