Both musically and spiritually, she is connecting past and present and exploring the themes of love and loss in her life,and never losing sight of where she grew up.
“I’m from Western Pennsylvania,” Kelley explained.
“Coal mining country and lots of trains to move the coal. My grandparents had a working farm in Crabtree, Pa. and I spend a lot of time there and loved it as a kid. My parents were 2nd generation Americans with good work ethics. The way of life, characters, values, and surroundings of my hometown area make for great song lyrics. I think the new record is a true in-depth reflection of all of that.”
Kelley is really enjoying sharing the new record with audiences through live performance, but she also shares her love of music with her children.
