Autor

Pete Kennedy's career as a professional guitarist and sideman spans a half-century of American popular culture. Starting from humble beginnings as a teenage rock concert-goer and garage band neophyte, his knack for blending in with any musical situation has taken him from roadhouses and honky-tonks to the stages of Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and London's Royal Albert Hall, collaborating along the way with a colorful roster of characters including legends of folk, rock, jazz and classical music. He's a raconteur with an eye for detail, a fascination with creative genius, and a prodigious memory for revealing and often humorous backstage anecdotes. He's the recipient of numerous Wammy awards, and with his wife, songwriter Maura Kennedy, he was named artist-in-residence at The Kennedy Center. Pete and Maura live in New York City, and when not on the road, they guest lecture at the city's institutions of higher learning, including Pace University, Fordham University, and the New School, and teach songwriting at Gilda's Club in Greenwich Village. They share a small East Village apartment with numerous guitars.
