Saxophonist Shannon Kennedy

Last Friday, I had the privilege of performing with Ali Coyle, a talented songwriter and artist. We performed the songs from her EP "Songs for My Therapist" as well as a new original written by Ali and "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. It was a fun night.

“What a treat to have Shannon Kennedy and U-Nam with us!  THEY are Nivo Deux – a partnership of powerful “hybridity” 😀  Yes, they re-define a whole NEW Hybrid, combining a cutting-edge 80’s rebirth – with Electro-Pop and Contemporary Jazz.  It’s energizing and hypnotizing – and…

I am so thrilled to announce that I am officially an Antigua Artist. 

I have been playing the copper powerbell tenor sax and alto sax for about a year now and I just picked up a new soprano at NAMM this past January.
