About the Kennedys....

The Kennedys, Pete and Maura Kennedy, met at the Continental Club in Austin Texas. Within twenty-four hours, they had written their first song, "Day In and Day Out". At the time of their meeting, Pete was playing lead guitar with Nanci Griffith, and shortly thereafter,  Maura also joined Ms. Griffith's band and they set out on an extended tour of the British Isles, opening shows all over England, Ireland, and Scotland. In a dusty little dressing room on the top floor of Dublin's Olympia theatre, they penned the songs that would become their first CD, "River of Fallen Stars". The CD was awarded the "Indie" award in 1995 for "Best Adult Contemporary CD" by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors (NAIRD).

In 1995, the duo hit the road to record their second CD, the ambitious "Life is Large", which wove their talents with those of guests Steve Earle, Kelly Willis, Nils Lofgrin, Roger McGuinn, and the Dixie Hummingbirds. They were nominated once again for the NAIRD Indie award, and the title track became their signature song. Their third CD, “Angel Fire”, was a largely acoustic, lyric driven collection. The following CD, “Evolver”, was a big, rocking set that included the power pop "Pick You Up". In 2001, they released their fifth CD, "Positively Live!” a live album that captured the blistering guitar jams and rocking vibe that set them apart from other acoustic acts.

The Kennedys are comfortable in a variety of styles ranging from roots rock to soulful acoustic pop, but ultimately it's their chemistry, their love for each other, and their unashamedly idealistic pop vision that has carved them their own niche onstage and in the world of maverick radio.

Coffee With Conscience Concert Series



Ahrre Maros is the owner of Ahrre's Coffee Roastery in Westfield & the Fair Trade Coffee Company on line. He has been presenting live musical events since 1992, when he first opened the Common Ground Cafe in Summit. The Cafe is gone now, but Ahrre continues bringing Professional Touring Musical Artists to the area for the benefit of the local community and several local Charities.

Currently, Ahrre presents the Coffee With Conscience Concert Series in Westfield, which is a Seven-show Series which acts as a fund-raiser—raising much needed funds for worthy causes—while providing the participants with the opportunity to attend quality performance events near their homes, providing an audience with a cultural experience, providing artists with a venue to display their talents, and generally strengthening the local community by bringing a group of people together for an evening of music in a comfortable setting.
