Twin Kennedy to Perform at SRSS They may be small town girls, but Twin Kennedy, comprised of West Coast twin sisters Carli and Julie Kennedy, have been making music together since they could talk. The Steinbach Arts Council (SAC) presents Twin Kennedy in an evening of “classic to country” music featuring vocals, violin and guitar on Sunday, March 5, starting at7:30 pm in the SRSS Theatre. Tickets are available a SAC or online at $18 for adults, $12 for students and $6 for Music Students. Born and raised in the
small town of Powell River, BC, the duo grew up perfecting their sibling harmonies and dynamic live performances. Growing up in a musically infused family, it is no wonder that these sisters crafted their sound through a unique fusion of their background in country, folk, jazz and classical music. With Carli on vocals and guitar, and Julie on vocals and violin, these petite powerhouses will fill your soul with joy and warmth through their seamless harmonies and heartfelt song writing. No bond compares to that of sisters, and the same is to be said about the blend of their kindred voices. With ten BCCMA Award nominations since 2012, Carli and
Julie have been a highly recognized duo throughout the West Coast music community. Most recently, Twin Kennedy was nominated for Roots/Canadiana Group of the Year at the 2016 BCCMAs. When they are not touring from
town to town on the Trans Canada, Twin Kennedy is often found writing and performing with Music City’s best. They currently split their time between their homes in Victoria, BC and Nashville, TN. For more information on Twin Kennedy, visit twinkennedy.com.
