Bio: Kennedy's Kitchen has been making music together since 1998, averaging about 80 performances per year playing everything from backyard birthday parties and weddings to concert halls and festivals. We have traveled from our home-town of South Bend Indiana to as far as New York City and Naples Florida, releasing five CDs so far. We are family and friends sharing the music that we love, rooted in traditional Irish music... jigs, reels, hornpipes, aires, recitations, stories, and songs…. and adding our own compositions. It’s a mix of all things Irish from traditional to pub songs, from toe tapping to deeply moving.. and it’s always fun. The band is lead by joHn Kennedy, award winning singer and guitar player. It's Kitchen music... from the home, the hearth, and the heart .... Based in South Bend, Indiana. We play fiddle, flutes, whistles, mandolin, bouzuoki, guitars, tenor banjo, harmonica, bohdran, and bass. The Celtic Fire Step-dancers frequently perform with Kennedy's Kitchen.
