Kelly Jones

Artist Description

Born in Ridgefield, WA and raised on a horse farm, Kelly Jones is classically trained in piano and dance.

In 2003, Kelly recorded her first album, Brave Heartache, in Portland, Oregon. With a vocal style and lyrics that are at once clear-eyed and girlish, the songs invite the listener to encounter a bittersweet world with optimism. Musically, the record's Country/Americana sound has gained her a loyal following in the Northwest, NYC, and Scandinavia (of all places).

In 2006, her eclectic follow-up, Handle With Care, introduced Kelly's pop and rock sensibilities. Greater sonic and songwriting complexity characterized this album. The diverse instrumentation of Handle With Care pushed Kelly's sound out of traditional Country and Pop, and gained her a wider fan-base.

Kelly is now living and performing in and out of NYC and working on her next record.
