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.
