Kennedy's Kitchen

The Carnegie Center for the Arts and the Riviera Theatre are proud to present Kennedy's Kitchen, returning for their annual Saint Paddy's show in Three Rivers! This time they will be bringing their tear-up-the-floor, break-your-heart beautiful Irish music to the Riviera Theatre in order to make room for an audience which grows larger every year! The lively performance includes a mixture of traditional dance tunes, pub and original songs, stories, jokes, and well-embellished tall tales.

Kennedy's Kitchen is based in South Bend, Indiana, and has grown over ten years out of weekly seisuns at Lula's Cafe in South Bend. As a seisun is as much a social gathering as a musical one, so are their performances- the music is intermingled with stories and tall tales. They have played from New York City to Chicago, and from Dayton, Ohio to the Irish Fest in Muskegon, entertaining audiences with their own special sound on fiddle, whistles, banjo, bouzouki, guitars, bodhran, harmonica and bass. No two performances are the same. Out of their respect for each other's talents comes an abiding drive to share their enthusiasm for Irish music and culture with others. Rowdy and toe-tapping or sweet and sentimental, you'll have it all!
