At sunrise in Manhattan, most of New York is still half asleep. Kerry Kenny isn’t. In the new “Pining Time (Remix)” video, she’s already in motion—bolting through Hell’s Kitchen, darting down St. Mark’s Place, high-fiving Spider-Man in Times Square, and racing joggers in Central Park. It’s not a performance staged for cameras; it’s a full-tilt love letter to a city that only reveals itself at full speed.
“Pining Time (Remix)” is less a song and more a pulse—a reimagined version of the title track from their 2023 album, sharpened and energized for a global spotlight via Sony Orchard. The remix embodies everything the band stands for: speed, grit, curiosity, and a refusal to stand still. Kerry Kenny Band has always thrived on that blend of genres and influences — rock, folk, punk, Celtic roots, and the worldly perspective Kenny picked up performing across Europe and Asia. They’re Pennsylvania-based, sure, but creatively they live everywhere at once.
The video, co-directed by Kenny and drummer Mark Grasso, taps into the frantic charm of Run Lola Run — but swaps Berlin for New York’s real streets and unfiltered skyline. Shot guerrilla-style at dawn, there’s no glam squad, no city permits, no staged extras. Just Kenny, sneakers slapping pavement, the sun catching glass towers, and the kind of adrenaline only early Manhattan can supply. She wanted the city as she experienced it, and that’s exactly what we get: raw, unedited, and vibrating with possibility.
With “Pining Time (Remix)” now out worldwide, the Kerry Kenny Band steps confidently into its next chapter — a chapter defined by motion, momentum, and unshakable artistic fearlessness. If this is the pace they’re setting, fans better lace up.
