THE KENNEDYS
with special guest
3B: MICHAEL & DAVID BEREZNAK
Even after ten
years, over a thousand gigs and 500,000 miles of touring as a
married, music-making couple, singer-guitarists Pete and Maura
Kennedy haven’t killed each other. The duo savors each instant
in life and in each other’s company, and it shows in their
music. The Kennedys have been charming audiences, record buyers
and critics for the past decade with their exuberant mixture
of folk, rock, country, pop and their own brand of secular gospel,
a philosophical depth in their lyrics, and joyful, kinetic performances
and recordings. Half a Million Miles, The Kennedys’
eighth CD and Appleseed debut, presents ten sparkling roots-pop
originals, plus two complementary covers, that are infused with
Pete and Maura’s “live in the moment” outlook.
They don’t mind looking back, as on the title track that
opens the album, recounting their storybook first date, in which
each traveled 500 miles to meet at mutual hero Buddy Holly’s
grave in Lubbock, Texas. But they are most interested in looking
around at what they see as an always-vibrant present tense.
More about The Kennedys
Without fail, the
first question that most people ask after seeing 3B perform for
the first time is "Where's the 3rd B?" To put it bluntly,
there isn't a 3rd !!! 3B simply stands for The Bereznak Brothers
Band! At this point, you may be asking yourself "Who are
these guys and where did they come from?" Well ... here's
the story!!!
3B - The Bereznak Brothers
Band is a dynamic and genre - bridging musical group that is
fronted by twin brother / singer songwriters Michael and David
Bereznak. Raised in upstate New York by a stay at home mom and
a truck driving dad, 3B is a testimony to the strength of small
town America and the support of a loving family; both endangered
institutions. These brothers have literally been living for music
since they were six years old and have spent their lives honing
their craft in anticipation of conveying their music to the masses.
In order to reach as many
people as possible, 3B performs their music in a variety of formats.
You can find them connecting with audiences as an acoustic duo,
a power trio, or as a full band… sometimes, they even combine
all 3 formats into one show. Doing so gives them the ability
to play almost anywhere. In both the duo and full band situations,
Michael and David play guitar and share lead and harmony vocals.
As a power trio, David trades his guitar for a custom designed
stand - up drum kit, Michael takes on all the guitar duties,
and they both continue to sing from the heart with their unique
blend of lead and harmony vocals.
