Happy Valentine's Day IN THIS ISSUE: 1) Next studio CD set for May 7 release! 2) Kennedys take on the big apple! 3) Kennedys win annual Kate Wolf award! 3) Touring schedule, including a southern swing 1) Our next CD, entitled Get It Right is slated for May 7 release date. This will be our first ever enhanced CD. We've included photos, a flash movie, a music video, lyrics, liner notes hot links and more. 2) We love New York as much as Ryan Adams, so we rented a little sublet apartment in the heart of Greenwich Village and we'll call this neighborhood home for the next few months. How does this relate to our music? Well, we've been writing more songs than ever. It must be the bohemian mojo that's hanging in the air, the same air that Dylan breathed when he wrote Mr. Tamborine Man....hope he left some for us. 3) We would humbly like to thank all the kind folks at the World Folk Music Association for honoring us last month with their annual Kate Wolf award. It means so much to both of us, and it has extra special meaning for Pete, as he was a friend and accompanist to Kate before she died of leukemia in the late 80s. We'll do our best to live up to the standard Kate set both musically and otherwise. 4) Touring Schedule Saturday, Feb 2 - The Cutting Room (NYC) with Mary Lee's Corvette.
