About Me


I am Kelly Mckenzie

I play for The Hugs! I have been for about two years now.

I'm currently recording and living in Portland Oregon W/ the Hugs and working really hard. Watch for our debut album in the Spring of 2009.

I play my songs for fun. If I get to play them at a show with a bunch of people it's awesome. If it's five people at a coffee shop that aren't really paying attention....well....that's funny. I happen to be writing most of my songs about heart break right now but hopefully that will change. I'm a single, working musician who has fun with pretty much anything, mood permitting. Oh and,"Hey Hey Hey, smoke everyday". .

Oh and Girls


"Sometimes I wish there wasn't any country music anymore, wish there wasn't anything called folk music or rock music or the blues or anything.

What I've always dreamed of is what I like to call Interstellar North American Music, a heaven-sent musical hybrid fusing together all honest forms of sound into one great big soulful stew.

. . .Just music, understand, just one kind of music...good music."

Oh and Brian Wilson!
