Blending Heartfelt Lyrics with Cinematic Warmth, Singer-Songwriter Liz Kennedy Brings Her Holiday Vision to Life Through Captivating Videos
NASHVILLE, TN – (NOV 7, 2025) – Liz Kennedy rings in the holiday season with three fan favorites. The most recent Christmas tune, “Lizzy’s Christmas Sleigh” along with “Snowman Moon (a Christmas Crime)” and “Snow In San Francisco”. Known for her vivid storytelling and instantly memorable lyrics, Kennedy wrote the song “Lizzy’s Christmas Sleigh” herself, drawing inspiration from a childhood memory that remains as magical today as it was decades ago. The track recounts a moment when a six-year-old Liz, brimming with wonder, believed she saw Santa’s sleigh sailing across the moon from atop her father’s shoulders on Meriday Lane, a vision that forever shaped her belief in the magic of Christmas. “It may have been the first time I realized not everyone believed me,” Liz recalls, “but that vision still reminds me that the spirit of the holidays lives within us grown children. I saw that sleigh. I did.” “Lizzy’s Christmas Sleigh” is available now for radio airplay on PlayMPE and all streaming and download platforms HERE

About Liz Kennedy:
After going through a whirlwind of life changes, the San Francisco-based singer-songwriter, Liz Kennedy, has come to see songwriting not as a choice but as something she has to do. She says music sustains her and offers a way forward. Her decade-plus as a critically acclaimed recording artist has brought her confidence in her ever-unfolding identity as a quirky, often humorous, and ever-insightful storyteller committed to honesty and finding something unique to say.
Jaffe, whose credits include Roy Rogers, Ray Manzarek, Maria Muldaur, Lenny Williams, The Flamin’ Groovies, is the renowned engineer and producer of Studio D in Sausalito, where he has worked with legendary artists like Bonnie Raitt, Ringo Starr, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, and Huey Lewis and the News. One of the most significant influences on Kennedy’s development since she took the plunge into recording has been his helming all her previous recordings: Clean White Shirt, A Good Peach, Nothing Like an Angel, Speed Bump, and Hike Up Your Socks. Jaffe adds numerous string textures to Kennedy’s songs, including acoustic and electric guitar, dobro, mandolin, lap steel, and ebow.
Kennedy describes herself as honest and observant and adds, “I sure hope I can easily laugh at myself.” Her songcraft. Where the lyrics always follow the music, perfectly reflects that thoughtful self-assessment. The fascinating part of the process is not knowing where the inspiration will come from. “It’s strange how emotional pain and joy can equally send you racing to the piano to capture something … whether it’s a butterfly or a heavy brick.
After graduating from Stanford University, where she studied anthropology and journalism, she settled in the Bay Area and worked for film companies that made TV commercials. Before reality TV became mainstream in our culture, Kennedy specialized in casting real people (instead of professional actors) for commercials. She also married and raised two children. In her late 40s, when she realized she had “songs in my head” that had never been recorded, she met Jaffe, who liked what he heard and encouraged her to take her work as a singer/songwriter more seriously. In addition to her growing catalog of recordings, she has performed at renowned Bay Area hotspots such as Sweetwater Music Hall, the Throckmorton Theatre, and Club Fox.
Kennedy enjoys performing live in an intimate setting and finding the connection people make to her songs. I love to hear what someone gets from a song, in their own way. A good song should translate into another person’s language. Yet before performing, there is a recording. “I’ve had inexpressibly sublime moments in the studio, listening to what these great musicians bring to my songs,” she says. “I have fallen to my knees with the joy of an unexpectedly beautiful touch. There’s no greater moment for me than when we all listen to the finished product and love what we hear, experiencing our collective ownership.”
