It's like seeing double. Carli and Julie Kennedy are a Canadian powerhouse duo with a musical bond that only identical twins can share. With Carli on vocals and guitar and Julie on vocals, violin, mandolin, and bass guitar, they have developed a sound that is all their own: a fusion of their background in folk, jazz, and country music. Originally from the culturally active town of Powell River, Carli and Julie are known for their exceptional harmonies, fine musicality, and sincere songwriting style. Classically trained from the age of five, they are both graduates of the University of Victoria's Bachelor of Music performance program. Carli and Julie most recently completed a Christmas tour of Vancouver Island and the lower mainland of BC. This February, they performed as part of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Entertainment. They also recently completed a tour of BC with Canadian tenor, Ken Lavigne. In 2009, Carli and Julie performed at the Victoria Jazz Fest International. Their debut EP, featuring four original songs, continues to receive airplay on CBC Radio 1, CFUV 101.9FM, and 95.7 Sun FM. Upcoming shows include a showcase at the Vancouver Island Music Business Conference, mainstage performances at Victoria's Butchart Gardens, Islands Folk Festival, and Powell River Sunshine Folk Festival, and numerous performances as part of the City of Victoria's outdoor summer concert series. The Kennedys have been described by reviewers, colleagues, and audiences alike as "fine players and truly communicative performers." An undeniably energetic duo, Carli and Julie's performances bring a mix of toe-tapping tunes and intimate, heartfelt songs to the stage. With a musical connection reminiscent of other Canadian family groups, such as Leahy and The Rankins, audiences are falling in love with the music of Carli and Julie Kennedy.
