Pete and Maura Kennedy met at the Continental Club in Austin TX. Within a few weeks, they went on their first date at Buddy Holly's grave in Lubbock, TX, and within a year, they were touring together, as part of Nanci Griffith's band, and as the opening act on Nanci's two-month tour of the British Isles.

In a dusty little dressing room on the top floor of Dublin's Olympia theatre, they penned the songs that would become their first CD, "River of Fallen Stars." The CD was awarded the "Indie" award in 1995 for "Best Adult Contemporary CD" by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors.

Eight CDs and half a million miles of touring later, they enjoy loyal followings in both the guitar camp and the singer-songwriter set. Ultimately it's their tight harmonies, their chemistry and their unashamedly idealistic outlook that has carved them their own niche in the studio and onstage.

UU Congregation of Central Nassau is located at 223 Stewart Avenue (corner of Nassau Blvd.).

Garden Stage is an all-volunteer, non-profit, committee of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Central Nassau.

Indulge in delicious homemade desserts in the Mallette Gallery during the intermission.
