Songwriting duo Pete and Maura Kennedy (known as The Kennedys) began their writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra, developing their own sound as a frequent support act on Nanci’s tours across America, Ireland, Scotland and England.

Collaborations with Nanci continued, culminating in Pete and Maura producing her final album, “Intersections.” Along the way, they’ve 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 audience further with the inception of the AAA and Americana formats.
