About this concert
7:00 pm EST at: Tickets: $15 in advance. $19 at the door. https://tickets.burren.com/ordertickets.asp?p=350&backurl=default.asp The Kennedys are an exceptional American folk-rock band, consisting of husband and wife, Pete and Maura Kennedy. For twenty years, they have been entertaining audiences with their music drawn from blues, roots rock, Celtic, ukulele, show tunes, bluegrass, rock'n'roll, folk-rock, blues, Appalachian style folk, gospel, country, rockabilly and jazz. Their interpretations are unique and totally engaging due to Maura’s melodic voice, enthusiasm and soul spirit as well as the expressive, creative sounds that Pete extracts from all the many instruments he plays. For some years, they played with and were the opening act for Nanci Griffith. They performed for Bill Clinton's inauguration as well as at a long list of well-known venues.

Hello fello Music Fans
We drove from Savannah GA to see the Kennedys in person for the first time
We went with daughters family, and brothers family to a small venue-Live at Teds
Maura and Pete Kennedy were beyond all expextaions.
Pete is the most amazing guitarist/ musician I have ever witnessed in person.
Maura, song writer, guitar player/singer is better in person than even her videos.
Their original music is exceptional. The cover songs wonderfully done!
After a susbstanial career- their newest music album is one of their best.
We will travel to see them again whenever reasonable.
Maura and Pete
Thank you for a wonderful evening
Dr Robert Kulp and family

The Kennedys Biography
“I arrived at The Kennedys show in the foulest of moods….Two hours later, I didn’t want to be anywhere else….I could not have found a better antidote.” - Jim Daniels, Elmore Magazine, November 2016
In a career that now spans two decades, New York duo Maura and Pete Kennedy have traversed a broad musical landscape, surveying power pop, acoustic songwriting, organic rock rooted in their early days in Austin, and a Byrds-inspired jangle that drew the attention of McGuinn, Steve Earle, and most notably Nanci Griffith. The duo co-produced Nanci’s latest CD, and are currently touring the US and the British Isles with the Texas songstress.
