THE KENNEDYS are touring the UK starting tonight in Bristol. (see dates below)
Pete & Maura are Nanci Griffiths backing band but are here in the UK doing their own headline tour as a duo.
Over the last two decades, The Kennedys have released a string of albums to critical acclaim in the US, that have traversed a broad musical landscape, surveying power pop, acoustic songwriting, organic rock rooted in their early days in Austin, and a Byrds-inspired jangle that drew the attention of McGuinn, Steve Earle, and most notably Nanci Griffith.
The Kennedys albums have been largely unrecognised in the UK, except by a devoted coterie who scan the Internet for import-only releases. That will change this year as the duo release “Closer Than You Know”, their first fully promoted UK album since “Life is Large” which was a radio staple some years back.
