1) WHAT WE LEARNED IN 2002
2002 is now over and we learned a few things that we thought we'd share with
you.
#1 - New York City is one groovy town. We spent all of 2002 living in the
East Village, hearing live music, writing songs, recording them and doing all
the unique things that only The Big Apple can offer.
#2 - After our December Falcon Ridge In December tour with Nerissa and
Katryna Nields, and Susan Werner, we once again realized how great it is
collaborating with our friends. Watch out for even more wild and wonderful
collaborations in the coming year!
#3 - We have confirmed knowledge that at least one couple (no, it's not us)
actually does Bossa Nova in the nude to our song "Galaxy Express" from our
Evolver CD. We didn't think we'd be taken that literally, but hey, knock
yourselves out!
Looking ahead to 2003:
Did we mention that we've been writing and recording? Lots of new songs are
pouring forth, and we're starting to play them at our shows, so catch a sneak
preview of the next CD by coming to one of our upcoming performances! For
all kinds of Kennedys info including tour dates, road diary, tour photos, and
more, check out our official web site at: www.KennedysMusic.com
2) FREE STUFF!!
Come to any Kennedys show in January and show us a guitar pick (or otherwise
imply that you play guitar or piano), and we'll give you FREE KENNEDYS SHEET
MUSIC!
