The Kennedys Return to the Sunday Street Series

Sunday, April 2nd at 5 P.M. at The Long Island Museum, Rte.25A, Stony Brook.

We’ve often referred to The Kennedys as the ‘musical heart and soul’ of WUSB’s The Sunday
Street Series. They played our very first show in February, 2004 and have returned many times
for Kennedy’s shows as well as being an integral part of our annual Bob Dylan Birthday
Celebration.

While the pandemic put a halt to live events shortly after our January 2020 show with Pete and Maura, we’re delighted to have them back with us for a live show. You can expect the usual musical brilliance of an early evening with Pete and Maura as well as songs from a new studio album of original songs.

Please join us to welcome them back to our series. (www.kennedysmusic.com)

Advance sale tickets $ 25.00 at www.sundaystreet.org

Tickets at the door, if available, $30.00 (cash only)

The Sunday Street Series is a collaboration of WUSB’s Sunday Street Series, The Long
Island Museum, and The Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council.
