 Kennedy's Kitchen - Tuesday 10/26/10     PHS East Auditorium

 Kennedy's Kitchen has been making music together since 1998, locally and nationally. They are rooted in traditional Irish music... jigs, reels, hornpipes, aires, and songs with much of it original songs as well as newly composed jigs, reels, and aires. Based in South Bend, Indiana, their instruments include fiddle, flute, whistles, mandolin, bouzuoki, guitars, tenor banjo, bohdran, and bass.

"To hear Kennedy's Kitchen is to experience the heart of music, the culture of the songs being handed from musician to musician, the beauty of melody untouched by gimmick and the magic of this group of musicians coming together with one aim - to leave you, and them, breathless.  Then, on the next song, they'll have you partying and dancing as never before.  One of America's best!"
  Tom Schaub, Entertainment Director    Michigan Irish Music Festival
