“Julie can quickly transform a classical violin into a country fiddle in the same song, while Carli can easily adapt to the style changes on her guitar. Added to the mix is great twin harmony, which won the audience over from the opening song.”

May 2012 Cashbox Canada Review of “Small Town Stories” EP
“They say good things come in small packages so ‘Small Town Stories’, part of the EP from the beautiful Kennedy twins, is no exception.
These native BC beauties have it all; talent, charisma and good solid songs. Carli reminds me of Nancy Wilson (Heart) with her solid rhythms on guitar and gutsy solos. Julie charms the sweet sounds out of her violin, and together their vocal harmonies bring it all home.”
(Sandy Graham, Cashbox Magazine Canada)
March 2012 Lithium Magazine Review of The Orbit Room Showcase, Toronto, ON
“…MAN could they play their instruments! With Carli on vocals and guitar and Julie on vocals and violin they shattered a twin good-girl image in a matter of seconds. These two are true pioneers in the folk, jazz and Celtic genres. Carli is bouncy and effortless on her acoustic while Julie works the fiddle like Jimmy Hendrix on an electric guitar. Together they went through a series of songs that would make anyone who shuns this particular genre think twice.”
