about
The Kennedys is an American folk-rock band comprising husband and wife Pete and Maura Kennedy. Having met in Austin, Texas, in 1992 when Pete Kennedy was playing in Nanci Griffith's band, in June 1993, Maura Kennedy (née Boudreau) joined Griffith's band as a harmony singer. The pair began their career as a duo when they opened for Griffith during her UK and Ireland tour. Their first album, River of Fallen Stars, was released under the name "Pete and Maura Kennedy". They have released all subsequent albums as "The Kennedys". In late 2006, the pair joined with Chris and Meredith Thompson to form the folk-rock band The Strangelings. Also "The Kennedys" may also reference the orchestra guided by Nigel Kennedy and Jaz Coleman who put together Concerto versions of some of The Doors' songs. The correct tag is "Riders on the Storm: The Doors Concerto" by Kennedy & Jaz Coleman. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
