The Kennedys headed to Sandywoods

TIVERTON — Sandywoods Center for the Arts will present The Kennedys with special guests Adam Traum and Colin Gilmore on July 14.

The Kennedys' original music is uplifting, encouraging and empowering, with an always-positive vibe, emblematic of their love for the classic songwriting of Buddy Holly. In fact, their first date was a road trip to Holly’s grave in west Texas. That was the start of a decades-long road trip and songwriting partnership.

Adam Traum and Colin Gilmore are carrying on their family traditions of playing American roots music and will tour the Northeast in July 2018, after two successful 2017 tours. The two artists have seen music history in the making from the front row and have now become part of that narrative themselves. Together they make a potent duo playing well-written original tunes as well as old favorites they grew up on.

Sandywoods Center for the Arts presents The Kennedys with special guests Adam Traum and Colin Gilmore on Saturday, July 14 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20. www.sandywoodsmusic.com
