About Me

I am a singer/songwriter from Albany. I am back after living in Nashville for about 6 years. I lived in a pretty empty apartment, worked odd jobs to pay rent and went to as many writers nights as I could. I learned alot from the pro's, made some contacts and get back there every 4 to 6 weeks pitching songs and maintaining relationships. I also have a "Celtic-Rock" band. We play my originals mixed with high energy arrangements on jigs and reels and we do concerts and festivals. I played in Riverdance for 2 years in Radio City Music Hall(nice room) and I have been fortunate to have shared the stage with the likes of Eileen Ivers, Natalie Macmaster, Black 47, Seven Nations and even Amy Grant, Eddie Money and the Statler Brothers. Enough with the name dropping already! I also have a recording studio and am currently producing 2 projects. One for an irish singer and the other for a songwriter from the Adirondacks.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/23/2006
Band Website: thejimmykellyband.com
Influences: I grew up around traditional Irish Music but heard Buck Owens, ELO, The Beatles and Chuck Mangione on 8-track in the car on the way to my fathers gigs. The Minute by Minute record by the Doobie Brothers grabbed me in grammar school along with Foreigner 4, CSN&Y Deja Vu, Journey Escape, Hall&Oats H2O, Van Halen I&II, and a few others thanks to my older sisters and their tendancy to CRANK music when they got home from school. After that, I was wide open to all kinds of music.
Sounds Like: The dreaded question!
