Maura Kennedy

Over the course of three decades, Maura and Pete Kennedy have traversed the US, Canada, Ireland and the UK as a songwriting duo and as longtime members of the late Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra. They’ve released two dozen CDs, produced Ms. Griffith’s CD Intersections, hosted a radio show on Sirius/XM, and most recently have presented a weekly live streaming concert on YouTube featuring a different program every episode, building a repertoire that numbers into the hundreds of songs. They’ve also led workshops at SAMW throughout the past two decades, and they always look forward to coming “home” to Geneva Point.  A vocal graduate of Ithaca College’s School of Music, Maura combines her knowledge of singing and live performing with a unique songwriting technique based on dream imagery.  She is an enthusiastic and energetic teacher who loves to see and hear her students tap deep into their own creativity.
