OXFORD – On Saturday at 7:30 p.m., 6 On The Square (6OTS) is proud to present American folk-rock legends, The Kennedys. One of the most compelling acts on the contemporary folk scene today, they have performed all over the U.S., even for President Clinton’s first, and second inaugurations. They have ten CDs under their belts and are still attracting enthusiastic audiences in their second decade of working together. This is your opportunity to see The Kennedys live and up-close in an intimate café.

The Kennedys are Maura and Pete, a much-traveled married duo who really do make beautiful music together. The story of their personal and professional relationship seems to be magical. The two East Coast-born musicians met by chance in Austin, Texas. After a first date at Buddy Holly’s grave, they sparked a songwriting collaboration that resulted in an enduring romance and a creative partnership that radiates warmth, positive energy, and captivating music.

Maura grew up in Syracuse, New York. Her lead vocals lilt and soar to express their poetic lyrics. But don’t be mistaken, Maura’s flawless soprano voice has an emotional range that can give a full-bodied punch when needed. Maura also plays the acoustic rhythm guitar, harmonica, glockenspiel, and the uke. Her sweet harmonies blend beautifully with those of her partner Pete.
