With a reputation of creating lyrical content in her songs that are instantly memorable, Liz Kennedy has announced the release of her most recent single “Waving At Trains” which evokes nostalgia and pure delight to the ears and hearts of her listeners.

Liz reflects, “This first song from my coming album continues to reflect the rootsy quality that I have been leaning towards, combining acoustic instruments with the rock and blues elements from my own folk background as a young kid in the early 60’s. My producer, Joel Jaffe, has done wonders helping me move my Americana sound forward to its eclectic, modern finish.”

“My sister lives at a ranch right on the ocean. A train rolls past daily. They have this great bocce ball court that looks out at the trains and the sea beyond. Her whole family surfs. They walk under the tracks and out to the beach. I visited with my grandkids once. While there I wrote this song, using some piano keys on my cellphone as I had no other instrument handy,” shared Liz Kennedy. “Young Jamie had just mastered knowing all the state capitols at the age of 6, so I threw in Lincoln, Nebraska. As a kid I would love waving at trains. You don’t see who’s there, always, but hope someone is looking. And as the song says, I’ve always lived near the sea. And where I grew up trains are often sailing right along the beach.

Produced by Joel Jaffe and Liz Kennedy and engineered and mixed by J. Jaffe, “Waving At Trains” was recorded at Studio on the Hill with Liz Kennedy (vocals, piano), Omega Rae (backing vocals), Billy Johnson (drums), Marc Levine (bass), J Jaffe (acoustic guitar, dobro and BG vocals), Eamonn Flynn (piano), Lorin Rowen (mandolin, acoustic guitar, BG vocals), Hardy Hemphill (harmonica, strings, penny whistle, BG vocals), Tom Rigney (fiddle and strings.)
