Take just one listen to Dollar Theater Movie and you can tell the silver-tongued Kennedy is an acute observer of human interaction. He’s able take a solid, relatable theme or idea and meticulously craft an entire song around it without tripping over tired cliches–and he’s able to sustain that innovative glow for thirteen songs. There’s no skipper material here, folks. If you’re one of those listeners who champions fresh, intelligent song writing, do yourself a favor and check this one out. — Brody Vercher www.the9513.com

   About Drew Kennedy
A college student with an adumbrating habit of American roots music exploration, Drew Kennedy began his musical immersion while attending Hamden-Sydney College in Virginia. The Pennsylvania native eagerly studied albums by innovators including Guy Clark, Steve Earle and Gram Parsons, along with Dave Matthews, Ryan Adams and Ben Folds. It was an enlightening musical education. 2003 found Kennedy offering his first batch of original songs for public consumption: Hillbilly Pilgrim introduced a bright songwriter with undeniable potential. Early compositions including "Livin' or Dyin'" and "Goodnight Mississippi" wield an uncanny literary sense of character and theme, while his voice confidently revels in its own uniqueness, taking bold chances and effectually conveying loneliness or jubilation. Kennedy longed for musical fellowship, and in 2004, he moved to Texas to join the state's flourishing artistic community. His maturation as a writer accelerated, seasoned by experience and invigorated by his new peers. He also developed as a live performer, singing his songs in venues throughout Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In 2007, Kennedy released his sophomore effort. He called it Dollar Theatre Movie, an allusion to the vivid cast of characters and stories inhabiting his newest songs. Produced by Gerald Boyd, Dollar Theatre Movie captured the spirit of a young troubadour discovering his voice. Tracks like "Ramblin' Heart" and the first single "Take Me Home" do honky tonk whimsical justice, while the rest of the tunes employ a broad spectrum of influences without succumbing to imitation. "Baytown" finds Kennedy channeling Otis Redding's lazy dock in a cinch; Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis supply harmonies for jewel "Tomorrow's Night Tonight," and a front-porch jam session ensues. Kennedy wrote all 13 of the album's tracks by himself save two, which he co-wrote. Although he pens most of his work alone, Kennedy co-writes occasionally with friends, thriving most in collaborations steeped in mutual admiration. "Bourbon Legend," which he wrote with Jason Boland, became the title track of Boland and the Stragglers' latest album. Esteemed songwriter Bruce Robison has also become a strong ally: Along with Gerald Boyd, Robison will co-produce Kennedy's next project. Today, Kennedy is steadily touring throughout the south and southeast, penning songs for his new album slated to be recorded in the fall of 2008.

I think I'm going to your show in Fort Worth (if I've recovered from Saturday night) and the one in Bee Cove. I'll be in Austin for the weekend anyway, so I have to see for myself that there really is a town called "Bee Cove.
" Is Holly coming to the one in Bee Cove?
