Description

"I was hanging around backstage with Sinatra's band..."

That's just the tip of the iceberg in Pete Kennedy's kaleidoscopic musical career of unforgettable collaborations with many of the giants of pop, classical, and folk music. In Tone, Twang and Taste, he passes along not only that experience, but also the inspiration he drew in his peripatetic half-century on the road. A natural raconteur, Kennedy offers a memoir that is part travel narrative, part musical history, and part behind-the scenes look at a world of fascinating characters. Ultimately, it is a clarion call to his readers to follow their dreams, never stop learning, and do what they love the most.

"As a musician, Pete Kennedy has been there and done that for decades, and now he's telling all the stories that have held his friends spellbound in conversation. Turns out he's as stylish a writer as he is a player. Reading him is as satisfying as hearing a great song." - Anthony DeCurtis, Author of Lou Reed: A Life

About the Author
Kennedy, Pete: - Pete Kennedy's career as a professional guitarist and sideman spans a half-century of American popular culture. Starting from humble beginnings as a teenage rock concert-goer and garage band neophyte, his knack for blending in with any musical situation has taken him from roadhouses and honky-tonks to the stages of Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and London's Royal Albert Hall, collaborating along the way with a colorful roster of characters including legends of folk, rock, jazz and classical music. He's a raconteur with an eye for detail, a fascination with creative genius, and a prodigious memory for revealing and often humorous backstage anecdotes. He's the recipient of numerous Wammy awards, and with his wife, songwriter Maura Kennedy, he was named artist-in-residence at The Kennedy Center. Pete and Maura live in New York City, and when not on the road, they guest lecture at the city's institutions of higher learning, including Pace University, Fordham University, and the New School, and teach songwriting at Gilda's Club in Greenwich Village. They share a small East Village apartment with numerous guitars.
