Cooper & Kenneally
Indie • Pepperell, MA
Pat Kenneally and Rick Cooper grew up less than a mile apart in the Boston suburbs in the 50's and 60's but only met in 2006 after each had developed a distinctive style. Together they play an entertaining mix of roots, folk-rock, rockabilly, country and blues. =====> Rick has been playing guitar, singing and generally annoying the neighbors since 1959 after hearing the Everly Brothers on his first transistor radio. =====> Pat also credits the Everly Brothers as an influence, and at the age of four refused to give up the microphone at a family gathering while performing her rendition of 'Bye Bye Love.' =====> Cooper: "When I was about 13 we were on a family trip in the car, mom, dad, and us five kids. I'm in the back seat in full teen angst singing 'Tell Laura I Love Her,' and when I finish, my dad--who never spent money frivolously--asked if I would like to take vocal lessons. I was thrilled. It wasn't until recently it occurred to me that it might not have been a compliment." ==========> What some fans have to say=====> “So much fun to listen to- great songs and great energy” -*- “…a great act” -*- “… a strong performance…." -*- “I have tears running down my face – you were FABULOUS!” -*- “I was smiling the whole time I was listening.” -*- “a distinctive style” -*- ‘truly terrific …such a pleasure." -*- “…a warm voice and expressive style on guitar.” -*- ‘…poised and polished…and very funny!’ -*- ‘hot, hot, hot…very strong…great to hear….
