Dear friends and fans–
I’m very excited (and even a little nervous!) about my upcoming show with Pete Kennedy in Stony Brook. Why nervous? It’s going to be a high-wire act, with surprises and improvisation, both of us playing stuff together for the first time. And Pete’s a GREAT musician and guitar player, someone who makes my jaw drop every time I see him play. I’m going to have to stretch to keep up with him!
Sunday, February 1, 2pm
University Cafe, SUNY Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY 11794

Pete Kennedy is best known as half of The Kennedys (www.kennedysmusic.com). His new release,
“Guitarslinger” is his first solo project since 1992. The new album is a stripped down, mostly acoustic
project that focuses on his incendiary solo guitar work. Many of the tunes grew out of his solo tour of the south, earlier this year, with a few tributes tossed in: Chuck Berry’s “You Can’t Catch Me”, Nat King Cole’s “Nature Boy”, and Pete’s arrangement of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”. In many ways, the album is an homage to the heyday of the roots music scene in DC, when guitar giants like Roy Buchanon and Danny Gatton were stalking the local clubs.Going to be fun–now I gotta go practice!
;-)
See you soon, and thanks for the warm support!
