The kaleidoscopic lights at Merritt’s Culture Club shone on rising country stars Twin Kennedy, who headlined a concert in town on Friday night to celebrate the release of their debut album It’s a Love Thing.
Sisters Carli (on guitar) and Julie Kennedy treated a full house to their unique blend of country and classical with a show that ranged from high-energy to heartfelt, as in the long-distance love song Already Miss You (pictured).
The duo stuck around for a meet-and-greet at the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame on Saturday, and then hit the road to continue their B.C. tour to promote the new album.
The Sooke-based band will be back in Merritt in August to open for Big and Rich on the main stage at Rockin’ River Music Fest.
Twin Kennedy was joined by Vancouver singer-songwriter Emily Rowed, who opened the show with her brand of smooth, bluesy folk.
