Second Kitchen Collective: Lenny & Lou


Written by

The Second Kitchen Collective was created by a group of college-age friends who love music and film. The house where a few of the members live has two kitchens, the second of which has been transformed into an intimate musical setting. The collective features both local and touring musicians.

In this video, “Lenny & Lou” Newman play accordion and piano in the Kitchen studio. They are a local couple who have been married more than 60 years. The duo plays everywhere from retirement homes to private parties with a set list of more than 500 songs. See how many songs you can name in this medley!

We will be posting Second Kitchen Collective videos monthly, but in the meantime, they have many more featured musicians to keep you occupied!
