“Her latest effort takes a more Americana approach with a more varied mix of sounds that amplifies her voice and presents a greater diversity and wealth of talent that is beginning to build her up and prepare her for what lays ahead. A truly amazing talent that is worth listening if you haven’t checked her out yet. ” - MusicBox Pete

"Having such a varied selection of songs to choose from, Hadley Kennary is undoubtedly a concert experience to attend. I stumbled upon Kennary (pronounced like “canary”) while exploring listings for upcoming shows, and I’m glad I did. Not only does Hadley Kennary have a beautiful name, she makes some beautiful music." - DigBoston.com
"Like the beautiful yellow bird that sings, Kennary from Winnetka was blessed with amazing vocals and a talent for songwriting." - The North Shore Weekend
"...her sound is a combination of Joni Mitchell and Natalie Merchant - at times very grass roots and folksy, but bursting with powerful vocals that almost drown out the gentle melodies that drive her songs." - Decent Xposure

Bio
Hadley Kennary is a singer-songwriter whose music is a folk/pop blend of heartfelt, clever lyrics and infectious melodies. Kennary, appropriately pronounced like the bird, started writing music when she was just 14. Now 23, she has graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music and independently released a full-length album and two EPs. Her warm sound is refreshingly honest and contagiously catchy.
She has graced stages around the country such as SPACE in Chicago and the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, as well as several shows in Ireland and the UK. She also appeared on ABC Chicago's "Windy City Live" in July 2014, where she played to an audience of 250,000+. Most notably, she was named a finalist for the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival's Songwriter Showcase in 2015 & 2016 and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's Troubadour Songwriting Contest in 2015 & 2016, winning 2nd place in June of 2015.
Hadley lives in Nashville, Tennessee where she continues to write, record, and perform live. Her latest release, "Momentum EP", was released August 24th, 2016 and is available wherever music is digitally sold & streamed.
