They took the opportunity to explore classic songwri ting in-depth\, performing over a thousand songs during the pandemic. That vast overview strengthened and refined their own writing and laid the fou ndation for this new collection of original\, socially-conscious songs.
\n“After such a deep dive into American roots music\, we felt like we had a new set of writing tools. We were ready to create this body of work\ , and there’s just SO much to write about\,” says Maura. “During our five- year hiatus from writing and recording\, America changed in massive ways\, divisive ways that have shaken our whole foundation. That has to be addre ssed by creative artists\, those of us who have a voice to speak for other s. Our love of the great things about this country\, things that are under threat\, is the reason we decided to make “Headwinds” the title track of the CD. Political and social headwinds are making it hard to get back “hom e’ to our greatness as a nation. We want to push back in a positive way ag ainst those winds.”
\nIn addition to singing and writing\, Pete and Maura are multi-instrumentalists. The thirteen songs are cast in a soundsc ape that draws from the classic canon of American roots\, in keeping with the theme of getting back “home” as a nation. Acoustic and electric guitar s\, a vintage steel guitar\, a gospel-inflected piano/organ mix\, and even a slide ukulele all add colors to a song bag of sounds that have drawn us together during hard times. Pete and Maura believe that those sounds stil l have the power to pull us through again.
\nThe Kennedys began thei r writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’ s Blue Moon Orchestra\, developing their own sound as a frequent support a ct on Nanci’s tours across America\, Ireland\, Scotland and England. Colla borations with Nanci continued\, culminating in Pete and Maura producing h er final album\, “Intersections.” Along the way\, they hosted a nationwide radio program\, “The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM\, wrote and released sixte en CDs of original music\, and have been core artists on folk radio\, expa nding their audience further with the inception of the AAA and Americana f ormats.

Presen ting the Reunion Tour of “On A Winter’s Night” from veteran singer-songwri ters that remain among the brightest stars of the singer/songwriter moveme nt for the past three decades. In 1994 Christine Lavin gathered them toget her\, along with folk and Americana artists to showcase music of the Winte r Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD\, followed by several y ears of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of reco rdings and toured steadily through the decades\, with fond memories of the ir touring days together. The winter season is again celebrated by these u nique and popular performers\, back together by popular demand.
\n\nOne of the most original songsmiths currently on tour \, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist whose penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guita r playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his m outh are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond and Richie Havens\, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditional an d contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s out on tour solo or with a small band\, Eberhardt’s guitar playing\, singing\, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling\, thought-filled\ , emotional roller coaster of a concert.
\n\nHailed b y Rolling Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement \,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk scene. Originally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Villag e Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival\, in 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on whic h he released his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know. Boston Globe p enned Gorka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative origin ality of his songs.” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Projec t’s Best Singer/Songwriter CD of the Year for Before Beginning (Red House Records). 2018 brought his latest release\, and 14th of his career\, True In Time (Compass Records). True In Time (Compass Records).

Songwriting duo Pete and Maura Kenn edy make a strong return to the studio and stage after three years of week ly live-streamed lockdown-era concerts. They took the opportunity to explo re classic songwriting in depth\, performing over a thousand songs during the pandemic. That vast overview strengthened and refined their own writin g and laid the foundation for this new collection of original\, socially-c onscious songs.
\n“After such a deep dive into American roots music\ , we felt like we had a new set of writing tools. We were ready to create this body of work\, and there’s just SO much to write about\,” says Maura. “During our five-year hiatus from writing and recording\, America changed in massive ways\, divisive ways that have shaken our whole foundation. Th at has to be addressed by creative artists\, those of us who have a voice to speak for others. Our love of the great things about this country\, thi ngs that are under threat\, is the reason we decided to make “Headwinds” t he title track of the CD. Political and social headwinds are making it har d to get back “home’ to our greatness as a nation. We want to push back in a positive way against those winds.”
\nIn addition to singing and w riting\, Pete and Maura are multi-instrumentalists. The thirteen songs 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 a nd electric guitars\, a vintage steel guitar\, a gospel-inflected piano/or gan mix\, and even a slide ukulele all add colors to a songbag of sounds t hat have drawn us together during hard times. Pete and Maura believe that those sounds still have the power to pull us through again.
\nThe Ke nnedys began their writing and touring life three decades ago as members o f Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra\, developing their own sound as a f requent support act on Nanci’s tours across America\, Ireland\, Scotland a nd England. Collaborations with Nanci continued\, culminating in Pete and Maura producing her final album\, “Intersections.” Along the way\, they ho sted a nationwide radio program\, “The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM\, wrote a nd released sixteen CDs of original music\, and have been core artists on folk radio\, expanding their audience further with the inception of the AA A and Americana formats.
