The winter season is again cele brated by these unique and popular performers\, back together by popular d emand.\nCLIFF EBERHARDT\nOne of the most original songsmiths currently on tour\, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist whose penetra ting and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary g uitar playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from h is mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond and Richie Havens\, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditiona l and contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s out on tour solo or with a small band\, Eberhardt’s guitar playing\, singi ng\, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling\, thought-fil led\, emotional roller coaster of a concert.\nJOHN GORKA\nHailed by Rollin g Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement\,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk sc ene. Originally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Village Fast F olk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Fe stival\, in 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he rel eased his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know.

Blending country\, folk and pop styles\, Lucy has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh\, whether singing her own sweet or iginals\, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons\, or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic voice has been featured in film and on television\, including commercials like Chevrolet’s iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charti ng singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records\, she ha s topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on show s throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radi o to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers\, Lucy has sung on countless records\, performing with Suzanne Vega\, Bryan Ferry \, Nanci Griffith\, and Shawn Colvin.\nPATTY LARKIN\nShe redefines the bou ndaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and unc ompromising lyrics and vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her\, “sound scape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her\, “evocative and sonic shading.” She has been described as\, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune)\, “hypn otic” (Entertainment Weekly)\, and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Perf orming Songwriter).

Songwriting duo Pete and Maura Kennedy make a str ong return to the studio and stage after three years of weekly live-stream ed lockdown-era concerts. They took the opportunity to explore classic son gwriting in depth\, performing over a thousand songs during the pandemic. That vast overview strengthened and refined their own writing and laid the foundation 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\, a nd there’s just SO much to write about\,” says Maura. “During our five-yea r hiatus from writing and recording\, America changed in massive ways\, di visive ways that have shaken our whole foundation. That has to be addresse d by creative artists\, those of us who have a voice to speak for others. Our love of the great things about this country\, things that are under th reat\, 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 “home’ to our greatness as a nation. We want to push back in a positive way again st those winds.”\nIn addition to singing and writing\, Pete and Maura are multi-instrumentalists. The thirteen songs are cast in a soundscape that d raws from the classic canon of American roots\, in keeping with the theme of getting back “home” as a nation. Acoustic and electric guitars\, a vint age steel guitar\, a gospel-inflected piano/organ mix\, and even a slide u kulele all add colors to a songbag of sounds that have drawn us together d uring hard times. Pete and Maura believe that those sounds still have the power to pull us through again.\nThe Kennedys began their writing and tour ing life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orches tra\, developing their own sound as a frequent support act on Nanci’s tour s across America\, Ireland\, Scotland and England. Collaborations with Nan ci continued\, culminating in Pete and Maura producing her final album\, “ Intersections.” Along the way\, they hosted a nationwide radio program\, “ The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM\, wrote and released sixteen CDs of original music\, and have been core artists on folk radio\, expanding their audien ce further with the inception of the AAA and Americana formats.\nTickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-kennedys-tickets-1435941683229.

That vast ove rview strengthened and refined their own writing and laid the foundation f or this new collection of original\, socially-conscious songs.
\n“Af ter 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 the re’s just SO much to write about\,” says Maura. “During our five-year hiat us from writing and recording\, America changed in massive ways\, divisive ways that have shaken our whole foundation. That has to be addressed by c reative artists\, those of us who have a voice to speak for others. Our lo ve 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. P olitical and social headwinds are making it hard to get back “home’ to our greatness as a nation. We want to push back in a positive way against tho se winds.”
\nIn addition to singing and writing\, 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 and electric guitars\, a vin tage 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. Pete and Maura believe that those sounds still have the power to pull us through again.
\nThe Kennedys began their writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moo n Orchestra\, developing their own sound as a frequent support act on Nanc i’s tours across America\, Ireland\, Scotland and England. Collaborations with Nanci continued\, culminating in Pete and Maura producing her final a lbum\, “Intersections.” Along the way\, they hosted a nationwide radio pro gram\, “The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM\, wrote and released sixteen CDs of original music\, and have been core artists on folk radio\, expanding thei r audience further with the inception of the AAA and Americana formats.
