Kimberly Kelly: January 17th, 8:00 PM Central
Radio Free Texas Songwriter’s Showcase is proud to present Kimberly Kelley on Tuesday January 17th. @ 8:00 PM, Live from Billy’s Ice House. Streaming Live on www.radiofreetexas.org.
Kimberly Kelly has opened for nearly every major Texas act including Pat Green, Aaron Watson, Stoney Larue, and Kevin Fowler, and she’s shared the stage with Nashville greats such as Steve Wariner, Tracy Lawrence, and Craig Morgan. She’s even performed for a president!
Like many country performers, Kimberly is rooted in a musical family. She grew up listening to her grandfather’s band, Sterling Kelly and the Hearts, and she spent her early childhood singing duets into the handle of a vacuum cleaner with her sister, Kristen Kelly (now of Kristen Kelly and the Modern Day Drifters). Kimberly’s influences range from country and pop stars such as Lee Ann Womack and Jewel to rockers like Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty—and even fresh Americana acts like Kim Richey and Hayes Carll.
She’s been featured on PBS’s “Texas Music Café” and played a Loretta Lynn character in Greg Vore’s play “Honky Tonk,” as performed by the Hip Pocket Theatre in Ft. Worth. She was a finalist on season five of Nashville Star, and she’s co-written songs with Billy Joe Shaver as well performed with him at the Grand Ole’ Opry. Throughout her musical career she’s picked up the mandolin and guitar, and she dabbles with the fiddle. She writes most of her songs on her piano.
Since her first performance in 2005, she’s averaged about 100 show dates a year. In 2007 she released her first album, which includes one of most her well-known songs—”The Best of Texas.” Her most recent album, Sweet Time Dreamin’ (2010) includes duets with Stoney Larue and Aaron Watson, as well as her first hit to make the Texas Music Chart, “Every Bad Habit.”
She’s got the heart, the talent, and the experience.
