Everyone has a favorite road to drive. I have a several of them, truth be told. There’s the stretch of 67 heading out of Fort Stockton, Texas, towards Alpine, and then onward to Marfa as 67 meets up with reliable old 90. The last zigzagging mile of the Million Dollar Highway that drops out of the [...]

The Red River Songwriters’ Festival, 2nd Edition!
Last year a handful of like-minded artists set out from Texas in the hopes of starting, and finding, something new. The idea: to start a small, intimate, fun little music festival where songwriters and fans alike can mix and mingle, hang and hear, ski and sing among the high pines and snowflakes that make wintertime [...]
Documenting An Adventure- Stars in California
A few months ago, my talented friend Andrew Barrera came to me with an idea. “It’ll be like a road trip,” he said, “but we’ll actually get something out of it other than hangovers and speeding tickets.” His idea was this: Route our way from Las Vegas to New Braunfels with a small film crew to [...]
Taking This “Second Favorite” Thing At Face Value
A while back I had some shirts printed up with a catchy little slogan on the front: Kennedy, My Second Favorite Artist. They make sense, you know? Because honestly, who can really say they’re someones favorite at anything with complete and utter certainty? Not me– no way. I’d never be that brash. Second favorite? Okay. [...]

I’m happy to announce that I’ve been accepted into the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s prestigious Troubadour Competition!

Turns out it’s a songwriting competition. I guess I can pull [...]

Music as a Family
When I first moved to Texas in 2004, I arrived with the hope that I would be welcomed into a tightly knitted community of like-minded artists, the idea of which I had admired for quite some time from afar. It was the inspiration for, and the premise behind, my self-imposed uprooting. Mutual support would abound, [...]
