SUMMARY:The Kennedys
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 3pm\, 4-6pm. Tickets are $25 + fees. The Kenned
 ys to release “Smoketree” – their first CD of all new original songs in 
 three years! “…a simply mesmerizingly cultured and dutifully soulful new
  recording…” – Exclusive Magazine (July\, 2026) Pete and Maura Kennedy m
 et at The Continental Club in Austin\, Texas\, in 1992. They first playe
 d and sang together a few days later\, and\, in no time at all\, they ha
 d written their first song. Their first date was a road trip to Buddy Ho
 lly’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 b
 and. The duo doubled as Nanci’s opening act\, and The Kennedys set off o
 n a lifelong road trip. As a duo going strong for more than 30 years\, T
 he Kennedys have recorded two dozen collections of mostly original songs
 \, along with interesting side projects. The duo’s early albums\, beginn
 ing in 1995\, established them as core artists on the AAA and Americana 
 charts. Despite touring at a rate of 50\,000 miles per year right up unt
 il the Covid lockdown\, they found time for a four-year stint as folk de
 ejays\, hosting “ The Dharma Café” on Sirius/XM radio. When Covid struck
 \, they didn ’ t lose their stride\, performing over 150 livestreams and
  playing over 1\,000 songs for a global audience. Nowadays\, Pete and Ma
 ura 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 the national Folk DJ chart. Sm
 oketree consists of all original\, newly written songs that reflect thei
 r feelings on things both timely and timeless: environmental concerns\, 
 social upheaval as families and entire populations flee violence\, the s
 earch for peace in the world and peace in one ’ s heart. All of these ar
 e touched upon with their trademark upbeat tone of uplift and encouragem
 ent. They are known for bringing the light rather than simply cursing th
 e darkness\, and they continue that approach with Smoketree. Well-travel
 ed\, never tiring of the life of wandering troubadours\, The Kennedys lo
 ok forward to hitting the airwaves and the stage with their blend of ene
 rgized folk-rock\, passion\, and a sense of kindred spirit camaraderie w
 ith their audience. Website: https://www.kennedysmusic.com/home.html Vid
