About Me

From Fort Lauderdale, FL by way of the boogie-down Bronx, Joe Kennedy has been a player in the Los Angeles music scene for 10+ years now.

Or you may be one of the lucky dozens who are familiar with Joe's debut album "Van Cortlandt Park," released on boutique indie label Neon Tetra Records in 2005.Joe is close to finishing the follow-up to Van Cortlandt Park, which he hopes will see release in 2009. Joe also plans on participating in the February Album Writing Month challenge for the second time in 2009. Joe's song "Velvet" has been selected to appear on "14 Songs in 28 Days," a best-of compilation from 2008 FAWM.
