The Kennedy’s at Stone Soup Coffeehouse
THE KENNEDY’S
Providence – The Atwater-Donnelly Band will be performing at Stone Soup Coffeehouse on Saturday, April 29, 2023. The show starts at 7pm. Tickets are $22, and are available at the door or reserved through our website. Please appear at least 15 minutes before the performance begins, or you will relinquish your tickets to those waiting to attend.
Pete and Maura Kennedy have been making beautiful music together for over 30 years and touring nationally and internationally for almost as long. They have played Stone Soup Coffeehouse many times and have always been a fan favorite of our Rhode Island folk community. Maura’s lovely voice and Pete’s awesome fingerwork on guitar, ukulele, mandolin (just about anything with strings, because he is indeed one of the anointed GUITAR GODS!), and their repertoire of songs make for a great night of music, and they have never disappointed us…. not once!
Parking at The Music Mansion at 88 Meeting St, Providence, RI 02906 is limited and carpooling, ride-sharing, and mass transit are highly encouraged. There is also available parking on Benefit Street, a short set of stairs will lead you right up to the Music Mansion.

ABOUT THE KENNEDYS
Pete and Maura Kennedy met in Austin, Texas in 1992, when Pete was playing in Nanci Griffith‘s band. For their first date, they each drove 500 miles to meet at Buddy Holly‘s grave in Lubbock, Texas.
In June of 1993, Maura Kennedy (née Boudreau) joined Griffith’s band as a harmony singer, and Maura and Pete began their career as a duo when they opened for Griffith during her UK and Ireland tour.
Pete is from the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.; Maura grew up in Syracuse, New York.
They lived for many years in the East Village in New York City, and in 2006 they joined other folk musicians living in Northampton, Massachusetts. They then returned to the East Village in 2008.
{They currently reside in Tarrytown, NY.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and after losing concert engagements in 2020, the Kennedys started a weekly, all-request live streaming show, beginning on Sunday, March 15, 2020, and running every Sunday.
After the first several shows, they began including specialty shows, paying tribute to some of their favorite musical influences such as Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, John Lennon, Nanci Griffith, Patsy Cline, The Byrds, and a four-part Beatles mini-series. In addition, they have presented hours dedicated to specific genres, including the Summer of Love, a Beach Party, California Country Rock, British Invasion, and a Motown special.
