Sydney musician John Kennedy’s 2019 album Raining Treasure Vol.1 celebrated the golden era of Australian independent music from the late ‘70’s and the 80's. His album, Raining Treasure Vol.2, goes both deeper and wider into the world of Australian indie music. Kennedy compiled a list of classic indie songs (and some obscurities) from that era and with his band, John Kennedy's 68 Comeback Special, has covered songs from Radio Birdman, The Boys Next Door, The Riptides, The Cruel Sea and many more. Some of these acts were contemporaries. Some were inspirations. All had some great songs.

John Kennedy is the writer and performer of many fine songs, some of which have found a place in the hearts of music fans of the golden era of Australian independent music. Kennedy started his music career in Brisbane with his band JFK and the Cuban Crisis. In Sydney, Kennedy pursued a solo career with his band vehicle, John Kennedy’s Love Gone Wrong.

Kennedy spent the ‘90’s living and playing music in Berlin, Hong Kong and London before returning to Sydney’s Inner West in 2000 where he formed his current band, John Kennedy’s 68 Comeback Special. Audiences at this Post Office Hotel show can expect to hear songs for the new Raining Treasure Vol.2 album along with Kennedy's original Urban and Western songs, new and old, from his extensive catalogue.
