Unafraid to mix philosophy, spirituality, love and artistry
with a folk-rock back beat is what makes this duo a positive force on
all things human.”
~ Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange.


Inspiration is where you find it — and where it finds you. Open to every moment, the much-traveled married duo of Pete and Maura Kennedy
have spun their personal experiences, musical influences and
philosophical beliefs into nine previous albums of winsome original
songs, frequently seasoned with exquisitely-performed cover tunes, that
blend acoustic-based folk, rock, country, pop and secular gospel into an
inclusively delightful sound that’s all their own. The Kennedys use their full palette of vocal and instrumental colors to bring their songs to glowing life. Maura’s
lead vocals range from comforting to yearning, from girlish to womanly,
from exuberant to delicate, sometimes bolstered by her own sweet
harmonies and those of Pete and sometimes several guests. As usual, multi-instrumentalist Pete provides a vibrant tapestry of chiming, jangling and twanging guitars, as well as mandolin, interwoven with Maura’s sturdy acoustic rhythm guitar, harmonica and glockenspiel. The body of work The Kennedys
have created since their 1994 wedding is a reflection of their musical
and philosophical influences and experiences separately and as a couple.
Their live show and CD’s encompass their favorite musical styles while
incorporating the naturalistic, transcendental and mythological
teachings of Joseph Campbell, Eckhart Tolle, Walt Whitman, and various
Eastern-oriented philosophers into their songs and lives. Their goal is
to live in the moment, appreciating every second of sensation, which
imbues their music with a constant sense of wonder and freshness. With
the release of their tenth CD as The Kennedys and recent CDs by their Strangelings and Stringbusters side projects added to their discography, Pete and Maura remain the Energizer bunnies of the folk/rock world.
