The husband and wife team of Maura and Pete Kennedy put on a high energy,
lively and entertaining show that is not to be missed b while playing jangly
folk-pop shot through with influences of the Bryds and  Beatles.

Pete first gained national  attention in the early Eighties as guitarist for
rising star Mary Chapin Carpenter, and before that Kate Wolf. Later, in
addition to writing and  recording his own compositions (eight independent
albums'
worth), Kennedy worked  as guitarist for Nanci Griffith, both in the  studio
and on the road. Maura had formerly been a member of the Austin country
group,
The Delta Rays. They met when he was  playing a one-night stand at the
Continental Room on a night off from touring  with Griffith.  The couple's
first date
came when they met at Buddy Holly's grave in Lubbock, Texas. A few months
later, the two were  touring Europe as part of Nanci Griffith's backing
band--Pete as lead guitarist  and Maura playing rhythm and singing harmonies.
Their
first gig together was held in  Liverpool as part of Nanci Griffith's Blue
Moon
Orchestra.  Pete's exquisite Rockenbacher guitar  tones gelled easily with
Maura's sweet voice and her own rhythmic guitar playing  as their 1995 debut
album drew excellent reviews with Goldmine magazine  recommending the record
as a
"nearly flawless amalgamation of the sort of  ringing Brydsy guitars and
gorgeous floating harmonies that make a pure pop fan  swoon." They have
released
seven critically acclaimed albums and put on one of  the most entertaining
shows
on the circuit.
Further on Down the  Road:
*** Cliff Eberhardt has unexpectedly cancelled his 4/1  show with us,  We are
sorry for the  inconvenience, it happens rarely.... we have no control over
the  artists.. however, I think we made out for the better,  as we have the
incredible talents of Kenny Edwards (founding member of the  Stone Poneys) and
Freddy Koella (guitarist for Bob  Dylan) to fill the co-bill with Kaedmon....
thank you Kenny and Freddy for jumping in on short  notice".****
