"The sneak-peak we had of Kennedy's debut album - a song called 'More Than Eternity' - was a deep, dark tune with an unshakeable, slow groove and an impressive baritone...Looking forward to more from this promising songwriter." - The Livermore, CA
"...Kennedy proved that even with a stripped down approach (he used a three piece band, and quite sparingly), he is a force on stage.... felt at times like Iggy in slow motion - deep voiced ramblings, jarring confidence, shaking, sweating, and strangely - yet undeniably - sexy - only here it was all done at slightly more than a crawl.... the whole room was fixed on him..." - RAW!RAW!RAW!, CA

Bio
Kennedy is currently recording his debut record - it is shaping up to be a boldly stark affair - minimalistic arrangements, baritone vocals, concise lyrical thought on subjects ranging from guns, to god, to the blessings of poverty. No excess in musical terms and no words without meaning - only bare grooves for lazy riffs to dance across - be they guitar, piano, saxophone.
Kennedy has enlisted the talents of industry veteran, Ralph Carney, who has lent his horns to the album - just as he has for Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jonathan Richman, The B52's, and The Black Keys.
Though Kennedy has yet to perform his latest material live, his decade of touring experience has had him criss-cross North America, Europe, play SXSW, and support acts such as The Stranglers, Bloc Party, DFA 1979, and Band of Skulls - to name a few.
