Kentucky Releases Intimate Houseboat Tour Documentary
A sincere portrait of life and music on the Rideau Canal.
November 21, 2025 (Almonte, ON) // There’s a particular kind of artist that rises quietly before anyone realizes what’s happening. Kentucky, the project of Canadian songwriter Jordan Holman, has been gaining that kind of momentum, not through hype cycles or algorithmic luck, but through a slow build of songs that feel lived-in, human, and unpretentious. In an attempt to capture a moment of that momentum, he is releasing a forty-five-minute documentary chronicling his unconventional Houseboat Tour from earlier this summer. It might be the clearest window into why he is beginning to resonate beyond his community.
The film follows Kentucky, his family, and their dog Leia, on a houseboat travelling the Rideau Canal, playing shows in small Ontario towns along the UNESCO waterway. Captured in a warm and honest tone normally reserved for home movies, it avoids the typical tropes of a tour film; no backstage theatrics or artifice or faux-gritty post-show chaos. Instead, it plants roots. Mornings on the water float into late-night dock tie-offs. It’s humble and captivating.
