Kelly's music is an eclectic mix of mainstream Americana, Folk, Bluegrass and Rock. She's drawn to complex musical productions that encompass acoustic roots and stringed instruments such as banjo, mandolin and dobro; a sound that her Nashville producer Ilya Toshinsky (former Bering Strait member) brought to life in her 2007 album release titled "Chasing Butterflies" including cuts from hit songwriters including Billy Montana, Jamie O'Neal and Kris Bergnes.




Kelly's bands contain the best players Colorado has to offer. She's opened for countless major recording artists including Sara Evans, Pat Green, Lonestar, Mark Wills, Phil Vassar, Ty England, Aaron Tippin, Billy Currington, Charlie Daniels Band and Blake Shelton.
