Liz Kennedy is a singer-songwriter from San Francisco. At the piano, her blend of blues, folk rock, R&B, and 30s jazz suggests some of her influences (Bonnie Raitt, Randy Newman, Paul Simon, and Cole Porter) yet she has her own earthy style. Beautifully crafted melodies and lyrics create a mood of intimacy and intelligence seldom heard in today's contemporary music. She will perform songs from her three CDs.
Liz sings with a group of top notch musicians called The Clean White Shirt Band. Her clean, straightforward and basic approach is like a "Clean White Shirt," which goes with just about anything. "Clean White Shirt" is symbolic of all that is fresh and clean. One listen proves that Liz Kennedy wears it well.
Liz Kennedy has been writing songs and playing the piano since she was a child.
"At 11, my dream was to write musicals. And I tried. I finished one that's buried away somewhere," she said. "At 12, I wanted to write songs as well as Cole Porter and Burt Bacharach, at 13, as well as Paul McCartney, and so on." Working most of her life as a TV commercial producer, Liz never played in front of anyone until recently. She was focused more on the writing than the performing. A few years ago she recorded a song in a music studio...and the rest is history. She sang at her Stanford reunion and then a sold out gig in Marin. This is her first San Francisco appearance and the Rrazz Room is proud to be the venue for another ‘first.'
