$25PETE AND MAURA KENNEDY back at LINDEN TREE CONCERTS Saturday, October 5, 2024
The Linden Tree Concert series is excited to bring back Pete and Maura Kennedy to Wakefield on Saturday,October 5 at 7:30 pm. Often seen on festival stages around the country, their visits to coffeehouses are extra special. The Kennedys are an American folk-rock band recognized for their harmonies and instrumental prowess, blending elements of country music, bluegrass, Western swing and janglepop.
The Kennedys began performing together in 1992, shortly after they met while on the road with Nanci Griffith. The pair’s musical influences are quite eclectic from Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, the Beatles, and the Byrds, but also jazz, blues, and world music. With over 14 recordings as the Kennedys and many recorded individually and with others, Pete and Maura have no plans to slow down either on tour or in creating music.
Their latest recording Headwinds, their title track, shows their love of the United States. Political and social headwinds are making it hard to get back home to our greatness as a nation. The duo want to push back in a positive way against those winds. The thirteen songs are cast in a soundscape that draws from American roots. With a mix of instruments which includes a vintage steel guitar and a slide Ukulele, Pete and Maura believe that these sounds will have the power to pull us through again. https://www.kennedysmusic.com
