About Me

The no-frills "Bio" approach: Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, on St. Patrick's Day, 1983, Kelcy Mae moved to New Orleans in 2001. She has been playing with her band in New Orleans and around Louisiana since 2003. Her self-produced debut album, The Times Compiled, was just released in 2007. While writing and singing, Kelcy is also pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree in writing (poetry, specifically) at the University of New Orleans. She thanks you for listening to her music, which she will decline to describe, and asks that you support her by purchasing her album and coming out to shows. She would really love to be able to quit her day job. Again, thanks for listening!
