This is the total package, great writer, sweet sultry vocals and a very well developed guitar player. Even for first time listeners, there’s an instant comfort level with Kellie’s original songs that makes you feel like you’ve heard them all many times before. Kellie’s young career has taken her around the country and you’ll be glad you took the time to see this up and coming star in the making! Kellie will be joined on-stage by singer-guitarist Carrie Cheron.
