Released first album Cure Me with the Groove

After the release of Journey , Kennedy left Cosmic Dust to begin working on a new band that would become Citizen Swing, for which Kennedy provided both lead vocals and lead guitar. They were described as “a band that combined the sounds of funk , soul , R&B , blues and alternative into a unique and cohesive sound” and as ” Stevie Ray Vaughn [ sic ] meets Stevie Wonder and then some.” They released their first album, Cure Me with the Groove , in 1993. This album featured Kennedy (who helped produce the album), rhythm guitarist Craig Johnson, bassist Dave Turner (also of Cosmic Dust), drummer/percussionist Mike Tschirgi, and trumpeter Geoff Miller. Citizen Swing’s second and final album was called Deep Down and was released in 1995. The band disbanded the same year. All the music and lyrics on that album were written by Kennedy. Journey , Cure Me with the Groove , and Deep Down are rare albums and are sought after by fans.
