Their New CD, The Hotting Fire is full of rare gems: Bob Harke's Vinegar Hill, and Rob Weber's "Children in the Band is a classic. “Crickets in the Hearth” a recitation by joHn, will take you on a trip to Donegal, back in time to 1916... beautiful stuff—Kennedy’s Kitchen are the real deal, and this album, The Hotting Fire captures the rich talent and versatility of these committed musicians. Shay Clark Irish American News and Blarney on the Air "The Kitchen's third CD, A Pocketful Of Lint contains some of the best traditional Irish music there is - plus some great original tunes and songs. The musicianship is outstanding. A thoroughly entertaining CD - just what you'd expect from one of the top Irish bands in the Midwest. " Al Kniola, The Back Porch, 88.1 WVPE Public Radio
"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 the next song, they'll have
you partying and dancing as never before. One of America's best." “Everytime that I see
Kennedy’s Kitchen, they are playing at a new level. They
just get better and better.” David Fink co-owner of The Acorn Theater Three Oaks, MIchigan |
