Twin Kennedy to Perform at GHS

Twin Kennedy will perform at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 at Glasghow High School.

Their musical bond is as strong as their small town roots – Twin Kennedy, comprised of West Coast Canadian twins Carli and Julie Kennedy, have been making music together since they could talk. Born and raised in the small town of Powell River, BC, Twin Kennedy grew up perfecting their sibling harmonies and dynamic live performances, while making their name known throughout their small community as a family band.

Growing up in such a musically infused family, it is no wonder that these sisters crafted their sound through a unique fusion of their background in country, folk, jazz and classical music. With years of classical training, including their Bachelor's Degrees in Music Performance from the University of Victoria, the sisters have found their home in country music.

With Carli on vocals and guitar, and Julie on vocals and fiddle, these petite powerhouses will fill your soul with joy and warmth through their seamless harmonies and heartfelt songwriting.

No bond compares to that of sisters, and the same is to be said about the blend of their kindred voices.

Twin Kennedy's family-friendly show has been a hit across North America. Now based in Nashville, TN, the duo crisscrosses the continent multiple times a year, receiving standing ovations everywhere they go.

The sisters have commanded some of the top stages in Canada and beyond including performances at Canada Place, Canadian Music Week, Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Sunfest, Rockin' River Music Festival, Vancouver Olympics, Live at Heart Festival in Sweden and Nashville's iconic Bluebird Café.

Get ready to cozy up at one of their famously intimate shows – "These two girls are 100% made for the stage and made to entertain!" (Nashville Music Examiner)
