Ordinary life does not interest me.- Anais Nin

About Me

stirring yet gentle, the passionate voice of rhona kelley has been ringing for so long, that she nearly seems to have burst forth from the womb singing powerfully and swinging a guitar at her foes. hailing largely from nashville but also from many crossroads in between, this fresh young singer/songwriter evokes the message and spirit of traditional folk and vernacular music, as well as the varied sound of newer acoustic acts. come sit by her side and she'll sing a song for you, but cross her path and she'll sing one about you.
