About

Their musical bond is as strong as their small town roots – Twin Kennedy, comprised of West Coast sisters Carli and Julie Kennedy, have been making music together since they could talk. Born and raised in the small town of Powell River, BC, Twin Kennedy grew up perfecting their sibling harmonies and dynamic live performances, while making their name known throughout their small community as a family band.

Growing up in such a musically infused family, it is no wonder that these sisters crafted their sound through a unique fusion of their background in country, folk, jazz and classical music. With years of classical training, including their Bachelor's Degrees in Music Performance from the University of Victoria, the sisters have found their home in country music. With Carli on vocals and guitar, and Julie on vocals and fiddle, these petite powerhouses will fill your soul with joy and warmth through their seamless harmonies and heartfelt songwriting. No bond compares to that of sisters, and the same is to be said about the blend of their kindred voices.

This magical blend has been recognized internationally - Twin Kennedy was awarded the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for their original song “Secondhand Gold,” as well as the Lennon Award for Best Country Song and the Vancouver Island Music Award for Song of the Year. The duo has received three Canadian Country Music Award nominations, including Interactive Artist of the Year and two nominations for Fiddle Player of the Year (Julie), and their music has been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, Billboard and CMT. To top it all off, the twins were recently named Distinguished Alumni by the University of Victoria. “Wise Woman”, the duo’s new single, is currently spinning on Sirius XM CBC Country.
