Rick Kennedy performs a uniquely personal sound drawn from rock/country/folk roots, reminiscent of the college coffee houses that were his beginning. Moving quickly to a lead guitarist for popular regional bands in Ohio (Eli Radish, Buckeye Buckeroos), Colorado (Airborne, Emersom Biggins) and for the David Alan Coe band, Kennedy has toured and traveled, sometimes with band and sometimes on a personal journey, capturing all in his compositions. Most recently performing at music festivals and smaller intimate venues, the music he plays is his own, whether originals or unique cover interpretations. Playing "anything with strings," Rick is as comfortable on the mandolin, banjo and keyboard as he is playing the guitar, accompanied by the harmonica and a distinctive voice.
