Raised in a town where musicians are a dime a dozen Sara Jean Kelley stands high above the crowd. With a sultry voice, haunting lyrics, and an original sound, Kelley is carrying the torch for a new generation of Americana artists. She effortlessly blends traditional country and bluegrass, with modern Americana. But this is to be expected from a girl who grew up listening to Bob Dylan and watching her mother Irene Kelley play on the world famous Grand Ole Opry stage.
Kelley’s voice runs barefoot through the audience, and before they know it, they want to strike out with her on the open road, and the road is something Sara knows a thing or two about. This was her home over the summer as she toured relentlessly around the country playing with artists such as Pure Prairie League, Emmylou Harris, and Sister Hazel as well as numerous festivals such as the Americana Music Festival, FemmeFest, Blues and Brews (Telluride) and Next Big Nashville. The sound drags people in as she performs in venues across the country, with her trusty 1969 Gibson B25 in tow.
With her sights set on recording a new record (a follow up to 2006’s “Dollhouse”) Sara has been writing relentlessly, on her own, as well as with Nashville songwriters Will Kimbrough, Neil Mason (of American Bang), and Sam Ashworth. Regardless of whom she is writing with every song reveals a piece of her soul. It is impossible not to be moved personally by her music. The lyrics come from a place that everyone can understand, and are real in every sense of the word. Coming from a woman’s point of view, they are vulnerable, and emotional yet maintain an aspect of strength that is missing from the feminine morale. That’s not to say men don’t relate; though very personal, her songs have a vast sense of universality everyone can appreciate.
Sara Jean Kelly’s ramblin’ days are far from over, she has some truths to tell, and the next one’s always just around the bend.
