Famous songs in French, Spanish & Italian round out the evening of some of the greatest standards ever recorded by some of the greatest,contemporary singer-performers of our time: Garland, Sinatra, Mathis, Patsy Cline, Piaf, Dinah Washington, yes,even Pavarotti.

Not only did Jon Arterton, Director of the Men's Chorus in the film "Philadelphia," call her 4-octave voice "one of the most beautiful I've ever heard,"  American composer John Thomas refers to her as "The Voice." Kennedy not only "knows how to take possession of a song and an audience," her delight in connecting with her audiences is infectious.  Her background in musical theatre makes these songs come alive. Bornwith great comedic timing and a wry wit, be prepared to laugh out loud (maybe even shed a tear or two) sing a long, and not want the evening to ever end.
