The Music
Led by singer and songwriter Tracey Kelly, Venus Eleven is an ethereal, earthy mix of acoustic, eastern, jazzy and generally quirky influences. Collaborating with other musicians including guitarist Rich Cain and keyboard player Andy Butler, Tracey's previous band Rosebud (after Citizen Kane) received praise and radio play from top UK DJs for the 'Just Like You' EP.
A singer with a clear, versatile voice, Tracey has also composed music for BBC TV, short films, art installations and new media.

The Reviews
LucidDreaming EP Ambient pop from Venus Eleven featuring Tracey Kelly on vocals and keyboards, Richard Cain on guitar and Andy Butler keyboards
"A dreamy, floating five-track EP which passes by on a bed of oriental, percussive chords and samples. Opener Timing Is Everything draws you in with its light but seductive vocal ... While acoustic guitars make their presence felt on Replica, the focus remains on Tracey's gentle and lyrical melody..." Musician magazine, UK
