GLT Datebook: Whiffenpoofs Carry On Grand Tradition

Laura Kennedy

  For 106 years, The Yale Whiffenpoofs have entertained audiences all across the country with harmonies so tight you could bounce a quarter off of them.  The Whiffenpoofs are coming to the Twin Cities for a concert, allowing a hometown man to step into the spotlight in front of family and friends.

Reporter, content producer and former All Things Considered host, Laura Kennedy is a native of the Midwest who occasionally affects an English accent just for the heck of it. Related to two U.S. presidents, Kennedy appalled her family by going into show business.
