Kindred Spirit

Welcome

Welcome to the Kindred Spirit website!  

Hey everybody!  

"It was 20 years ago today"...  that Kindred Spirit first got together!  Our original band started in January 2002, with some Sunday afternoon music sessions and since then we've played several hundred shows to over 200,000 people. Even through the recent pandemic, we've been playing regularly at a number of venues, and we're looking forward to the year ahead.

2021 turned out to be a really busy year for the band, with a lot of great shows, large and small. Our July 4th Fireworks event in Mercer County Park was apparently their largest ever, over 10,000 people! We also played for some great private parties, weddings and holiday celebrations, as well as playing at many of our long-time favorite venues. It's always wonderful seeing your smiling faces and we appreciate your support! 

We've got a lot of shows booked for the year ahead. We're hoping to avoid cancellations (with the current Covid surge) so please keep checking our website and Facebook pages!

KINDRED SPIRIT concert called "enthralling" on front page of Trenton Times ! 

July, 2015:
Hi there Kindred Spirit fans –

We had a great time playing for the Lawrence Twp Fireworks again this year!
Crowd estimates were between 5000 and 7500 people!! 
We were mentioned the following day on the front page of the Trenton
Times, our concert was called "enthralling"!!
While I am still laughing a bit about us old rock'n'rollers being called
"enthralling", we did put on a really great show that night so we'll accept a
compliment!!  (I think the word "kick-ass" might have fit but they can't use
that in the newspaper.... lol....) 
Here's the article with some good pics too:
