Spotlight on Ancient Voices

3/15/2022

Ancient Voices, 
​Native American Music
​with a
Contemporary Twist

David Rose, Native American Flute,
​
​and Dan Kennedy, Piano

Musicians David Rose (Native flute) and Dan Kennedy (piano) have been playing music together since 2015 as the duo Ancient Voices. “Under Open Sky” is their debut album,  released on February 1, 2020.

The album is, according to Rose and Kennedy, “a scintillating blend of faraway panoramic musical imagery with more contemporary, upbeat numbers.”

You can sample the songs “Desert Snow” and “Autumn Lament” on ancientvoices.us

Yeah, they're a pretty down-to-earth music duo. They've played in PA, CT, MA, NH, and ME, and almost in VT for Stone Church Arts, but the pandemic hit. Individually, David Rose and Dan Kennedy are both award winning musicians who have played all over the country.

​One World Music Award Winner David Rose, of Mexican and Native American heritage (Choctaw/Cherokee), has been a passionate lifelong musician. He has recorded as a solo artist and with the band Painted Raven. He has performed in music festivals across the country, and has been nominated for both an Indian Summer Music Award and a NAMA (Native American Music Award). David's flute music was featured on internationally acclaimed Mars Lasar's “Tahoe Spirit.”

Whisperings composer-pianist Dan Kennedy has performed in 21 states across the U.S.A. as well as Canada. He has worked with such luminaries as Will Ackerman, Joe Bongiorno, Charles Neville, Wings drummer Steve Holley, Glen Velez, and T-Bone Wolk. Making his start in the 1980s at Oberlin's Cat-in-the-Cream Coffeehouse, Dan has since been heard on over 250 radio stations, as well as on Spotify, Pandora, Music Choice, and SiriusXM. His music has garnered over 475,000 spins on the internet.
