The Kennedys-Winter Concert Series

The Kennedys began their writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon

Orchestra, developing their own sound as a frequent support act on Nanci’s tours across America, Ireland,

Scotland, and England. Collaborations with Nanci continued, culminating in Pete and Maura producing her

final album, Intersections. Along the way, they hosted a nationwide radio program, “The Dharma Café,” on

Sirius/XM, wrote and released sixteen albums of original music, and have been core artists on folk radio,

expanding their audience further with the inception of the AAA and Americana formats.

In addition to singing and writing, Pete and Maura are multi-instrumentalists. The 13 songs of the new Headwinds album are cast in a soundscape that draws from the classic canon of American roots, in keeping with the theme of getting back “home” as a nation. Acoustic and electric guitars, a vintage steel guitar, a gospel-inflected piano/organ mix, and even a slide ukulele all add colors to a songbag of sounds that have drawn us together during hard times. 

The Real Macaw is thrilled to be hosting this talented, renowned duo for their first Naples performance. This is a ticketed, seated event and space is limited. Light Hor d'oeuvres are included with your ticket and drinks will be available for purchase.
