Kelly Archer

I am a songwriter. Why? Well, that's just where I landed. I hopped in my 88 Mazda 323 on Jan 7th 2001 and drove across the country with no plan, just a gut feeling like I was pointed in the right direction. So far, my gut was right. You can trace the last five years through my song catalogue. Nashville isn't your typical town and the 'music business' isn't your typical business. I'm adapting as I go and i'm figuring things out as I go, most of the time with a smile on my face. I have big goals and places I want to go that expand beyond my music and Tennessee but I know already that there will come a day when I will miss these days of struggle and trial and error. The days in my crappy/cute little apartment, learning new chords, and trying to be a business woman when most of the time I still feel like a kid. I am happy to say I care alot more about what the music lovers, the country bar patron's, CD buyer's, concert goers, and country music festival beer drinker's think of my song's then those here on the row. I hope more then anything that I can look back and have a great story to tell. I have recently signed as a staff writer with Universal Music Publishing Group and I am very grateful for the opportunity to continue my treck out here in Nashville. I have the new Jo Dee Messina single called 'Biker Chick'. Please request it on the radio and also when the video comes out. :)I have a GREAT family without whom I wouldn't be doing what I am doing. I have a wonderful support system of friends out here too. We are cheerleaders for one another and that is crucial. I Love my friends!! I also have a gorgeous Australian Shepherd named Lizzie and a fat and friendly Cat named Roja but pronounced 'Roger w/an english accent.I hope you enjoy the tunes and if you catch a show I hope you have a great time. To all of those who take the time to leave me messages and comments and come to the shows and sing along........YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IMPORTANT YOU ARE!!!! THANK YOU:)k
