Shadows with the Lonely

Pete and Maura Kennedy have been playing the folk singer songwriter circuit for quite a while. Recently they have been incorporating some of there own solo material into the sets leading to a residency at The Living Room in NYC in which they have been splitting the hour doing some pretty cool stuff. Pete doing things on all his various string instruments ranging from tweaking ukulele to a mind blowing electric sitar. And Maura doing some electric guitar rock leaning tunes. In week three of the residency she was joined by lap steel playing friend Rocky Roberts. Because he was there Maura decided to include her recorded but unreleased “Patsy Cline” song SHADOWS WITH THE LONELY. Holy Cow!!! Wow!!! and any other superlatives you can come up with belong describing this song . It stopped me in my tracks. It has CMA (Country Music Association) song of the year stamped all over it. I don’t follow the country music charts or artist that closely anymore the fact that there is no longer a country music station in the New York market does not help things so I cannot come up with a current female county name to suggest who the song might fit that is if Maura decides not to release it on her own. But I would suggest if you are a agent - producer or even a artist who is looking for a Nashville style hit look no further than Maura Kennedy at her Reverb Nation page http://www.reverbnation.com/maurakennedy
I know I will be watching the CMA awards in the not to distance future and when the envelope is opened and Shadows of the Lonely is read I’m just going to sit back smile and think “I heard that song when it was just another song in a set on a Wednesday night in New York. Then I can jump up punch my fist in the air and yell “You Go Girl”
