These days everybody wants to move to Music City, even Californians. On that list is LA-based singer-songwriter Kendra Muecke who plays her potent Pop music as Kendra & the Bunnies. When and if Kendra does finally make the move, she will have the advantage of having spent enough time here to know local things like waiting on line at Pancake Pantry just isn’t worth it!

All kidding aside, after hearing Kendra & the Bunnies recent LP. “of marigolds and lightning bugs” we will welcome her here will open arms. And we all can see her at The Josie Music Awards on October 23 at the Grand Ole Opry House here in Nashville. She has a whopping three nominations and tickets for the event can be purchased HERE.)

Not only does Kendra have a cool band name, but she has a cool retro Pop sound that recalls many of the great bands of the 80s. Check out the video for “born to be happy always.” This is fun stuff! Thanks, Kendra, for letting us all get to know you better and we hope to see you around town more in the future.
