 ry Gift Shop! The Kennedys to release "Smoketree" - their first CD of al
 l new original songs in three years! "...a simply mesmerizingly cultured
  and dutifully soulful new recording..." - Exclusive Magazine (July\, 20
 26) _____ Pete and Maura Kennedy met at The Continental Club in Austin\,
  Texas\, in 1992. They first played and sang together a few days later\,
  and\, in no time at all\, they had written their first song. Their firs
 t date was a road trip to Buddy Holly’s grave in west Texas. Pete was a 
 member of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra at the time. Soon after\,
  Maura filled a vacancy in the band. The duo doubled as Nanci’s opening 
 act\, and The Kennedys set off on a lifelong road trip. As a duo going s
 trong for more than 30 years\, The Kennedys have recorded two dozen coll
 ections of mostly original songs\, along with interesting side projects.
  The duo’s early albums\, beginning in 1995\, established them as core a
 rtists on the AAA and Americana charts. Despite touring at a rate of 50\
 ,000 miles per year right up until the Covid lockdown\, they found time 
 for a four-year stint as folk deejays\, hosting “The Dharma Café” on Sir
 ius/XM radio. When Covid struck\, they didn’t lose their stride\, perfor
 ming over 150 livestreams and playing over 1\,000 songs for a global aud
 ience. Nowadays\, Pete and Maura are back “home on the road” and busy in
  the recording studio. Their 2026 release\, Smoketree\, is the follow-up
  to the duo’s 2023 release\, Headwinds\, which spent a month at #1 on th
 e national Folk DJ chart. Smoketree consists of all original\, newly wri
 tten songs that reflect their feelings on things both timely and timeles
 s: environmental concerns\, social upheaval as families and entire popul
 ations flee violence\, the search for peace in the world and peace in on
 e’s heart. All of these are touched upon with their trademark upbeat ton
 e of uplift and encouragement. They are known for bringing the light rat
 her than simply cursing the darkness\, and they continue that approach w
 ith Smoketree. Well-traveled\, never tiring of the life of wandering tro
 ubadours\, The Kennedys look forward to hitting the airwaves and the sta
 ge with their blend of energized folk-rock\, passion\, and a sense of ki
 ndred spirit camaraderie with their audience.\n\nTickets: http://faceboo
