Multi-award winning musician and songwriter / Freddie Mercury Scholarship Winner / PRS Guitars artist Leoni Jane Kennedy performs an acoustic tribute to Rush with special guest Eóin de Paor from Moving Pictures (Rush tribute UK). Tackling some obscure tracks and popular sing-alongs from throughout the many eras of Rush, Leoni and Eóin will play through songs from her reinterpretations album “New World Woman” alongside new tracks, set to be included on the next covers album in the near future.
Discussing the dates, Leoni Jane Kennedy explained: “We’re ecstatic to see that Rush are playing together again with Anika Nilles paying homage to Neil whilst also giving Rush fans like myself the opportunity to see Alex and Geddy perform a full set together live! In the meantime across the pond in the UK, myself and Eóin are so excited to be performing some of our favourite Rush tracks acoustically for audiences who may not get the chance to go over there. My mum never used to like Rush until I created my acoustic Rush reinterpretations album ‘New World Woman’ and I’m hoping that everyone who has responded to this over the past two years will consider coming out and celebrating this amazing band with us! It’s an intimate lounge cabaret style set up for these shows but Eóin has his fancy feet trigger pedals he will be using the emulate string sections for some tracks. We hope people love it and are willing to see Rush in this new light! The timing is impeccable.”
