FRIDAY, MARCH 14TH, 8:00PM EST: CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK’S DAY WITH A CELTIC MUSIC CONCERT BY KENNEDY’S KITCHEN
MAR 14, 2008
TICKETS $18.00
"To hear Kennedy's Kitchen is to experience the heart of music, the culture of the songs being handed from musician to musician, the beauty of melody untouched by gimmick and the magic of this group of musicians coming together with one aim - to leave you, and them, breathless. Then, on the next song, they'll have you partying and dancing as never before. One of America's best." Tom Schaub, Entertainment Director Michigan Irish Music Festival
Kennedy’s Kitchen is based in South Bend, Indiana and has grown over ten years out of weekly seisuns (Seisuns or seicuns is an Irish word that means a gathering of musicians for the intent of playing music). As a seisun is as much a social gathering as a musical one, so like their performances, the music is intermingled with stories, jokes and well-embellished tales. No two performances are the same. Out of their respect for each other's talents comes an abiding drive to share their enthusiasm for Irish music and culture with others. Rowdy and toe tapping or sweet and sentimental, you'll have it all.
Kennedy’s Kitchen has played from New York City to Chicago and from Dayton, Ohio to the Irish Fest in Muskegon, Michigan, entertaining audiences with their own special sound on: fiddle, whistles, banjo, bouzouki, guitars, bodhran, harmonica and bass. It's the ancient tradition and it's as fresh as a spring rain. The band’s third CD, “A Pocketful of Lint,” was chosen among the top thirty acoustic CDs of 2007 by WVPE FM 88.1's The Back Porch
The band is comprised of: JoHn Kennedy on vocals, guitar, tin whistle, bouzouki, bohdran, and banjo, Nolan Ladewski, Tin whistle, low D and other whistles, Bob Harke, guitar, bodgran, and vocals, Chris O’Brien on fiddle, tenor banjo, mandolin, and vocals, and Rob Weber on bass and really low vocals.
