In a career that now spans two decades, New York duo Maura and Pete Kennedy have traversed a
broad musical landscape, surveying power pop, acoustic songwriting, organic rock rooted in their
early days in Austin, and a Byrds-inspired jangle that drew the attention of McGuinn, Steve Earle,
and most notably Nanci Griffith. The duo co-produced Nanci’s latest CD, and are currently touring
the US and the British Isles with the Texas songstress. Alan Harrison of Made in Newcastle said
"Opening act, the Kennedys, had a nice line in Country-folk with a quaintly English edge to it and
songs like When I Go and The Midnight Ghost won them plenty of new fans, as was witnessed by
the long queue buying up their CD’s at the intermission."

- “Byrdsy jangle, boy-girl harmonies…irresistible” ~ Rolling Stone
- “Unabashed, hook-laden pop” ~ Village Voice
- “More hooks than Marilyn Monroe’s closet” ~ Chicago Sun-Times
On their newest release, Closer Than You Know, The Kennedys strike out into new territory, this time inspired by a sojourn in Paris, where they
immersed themselves in the turn of another century, the time when Debussy and Ravel were inventing the sonic palette of modern music. No strangers
to reinvention, Pete and Maura came up with a cappuccino-fueled concept at a small café in Montmartre: music inspired by the Impressionist
composers, married to the rock and pop sounds for which the duo have long been known.
The songs have a quality, inherent in Maura’s voice, that is both soothing and urgent. As writers and producers, the Kennedys continue to mature, from
their early style-conscious pop to today’s burnished sheen. Always tuned to their own muse, Pete and Maura have once again come up with a unique
sound that is as uplifting as it is unclassifiable.

It has always seemed as if there were two Cheryl Wheelers, with fans of the New England songwriter
relishing watching the two tussle for control of the mic. There is poet-Cheryl, writer of some of the
prettiest, most alluring and intelligent ballads on the modern folk scene. And there is her evil twin,
comic-Cheryl, a militant trend defier and savagely funny social critic. The result is a delightful contrast
between poet and comic.
Poet-Cheryl writes achingly honest songs of love and loss. Contrasting the prosaic landscapes of her
native small-town America with the hopelessly rootless life of the traveling performer, she touches the
common chords with any who feel the tug between our busy, noisome times and the timeless longing for
simplicity and silence. Her deceptively plain-spun songs have been hits for such mainstream stars as Suzy
Bogguss (Aces) and Dan Seals (Addicted), and have been recorded by everyone from Bette Midler, Maura
O’Connell, Peter Paul and Mary, Juice Newton, and Garth Brooks. Comic-Cheryl comes on like Groucho-
in-a-housecoat; a fiercely everyday woman with a barbed-wire tongue. Shredding the mores of our
gossipy, greedy, trend-obsessed culture, Wheeler always aims enough darts at herself to never seem
sanctimonious.
