Pete Kennedy Resume'


My career has taken many interesting turns, so my resume looks like a compilation of several different people's...but it's all mine. I have sometimes felt like a musical "Zelig" because I've taken part in so many great moments, without ever having the burdens of fame and fortune. Instead, I've had great music, great friends, great audiences, and the best part of my career has been the decades playing with Maura, the greatest wife a guitarist could ever have, because she's a terrific musician, and I'm always her #1 fan...
