The 2026 Plymouth Folk and Blues Festival starts tomorrow!! We have presenting our artists all week. Today we are happy to feature The Kennedys who will playing on our stage on Sunday September 6 at 4 p.m.!

The Kennedys are vocalists/guitarists Pete and Maura Kennedy. A husband and wife duo, they set out on the road together in the early 90s as members of Nanci Griffith's Blue Moon Orchestra, and since striking out on their own, they have traveled the US, Canada and Europe for three decades as a two-person band. Higher energy than a folk act, but not as loud as a rock band, they mix passionate songwriting with a flair for entertainment and a repertoire of classic songs drawn from their sixteen albums of uplifting original material. Think of a song by Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers or the Beatles, and that smile on your face is the same smile you’ll be wearing when The Kennedys hit the stage.

The 2026 Plymouth Folk and Blues Festival is only 3 days away! We have been presenting one performer each day all week. Today we present KeruBo who will be playing our stage on Sunday September 6, at 2 p.m.

Hailing from Kenya and now residing in the Burlington area, KeruBo is an accomplished Afro-jazz artist, singer, and songwriter with over two decades of experience gracing stages across the globe at music festivals. KeruBo’s musical artistry fuses African traditional music enriched with traces of Brazilian samba/bossa nova, jazz, and blues. KeruBo's vocal repertoire encompasses the enchanting realm of African folk music and Afro jazz, effortlessly transitioning between time-honored African laments and contemporary renditions. Her artistic tapestry has been woven with inspiration drawn from a lineage of music luminaries and songsmiths, most notably the likes of Miriam Makeba, Dorothy Masuka, and Nina Simone.
