Biography
CONTACT INFO FOR ERIN KELLY: erinkellymusic@aol.com gak30@juno.com

Special Thanks to my Producer(s): Rich Herring at Trax Productions in Nashville and Nyke Van Wyk of Sixwill Studios in Bethlehem, PA.

Growing up in the outskirts of Allentown, PA, 20-year old Erin Kelly’s country roots emerged at an early age by singing in several traditional country bands. Growing up listening to a wide variety of incredible vocalists such as Patsy Cline, Linda Ronstadt and Eva Cassidy, gave her the ability to perform and appreciate numerous genres. At first glance, Erin projects a humbled presence that quickly transitions the moment she steps behind a microphone. Her skilled guitar playing and powerhouse vocals instantly take most people by surprise. Her unique voice and consistent pitch results in powerful live performances.

Even as a child, Erin was never intimidated by large audiences. Since the age of six, she has been performing a traditional rendition of the National Anthem for many major and minor league teams. This includes teams in the NBA, NHL, and AHL. Her experience with the Anthem gave her the privilege of performing for General Colin Powell and President George W. Bush.

In 2014, Erin continued her career by recording her first EP, consisting of her own material. Her upcoming EP includes four songs with both the lyrics and music written by her, along with another song that she co-wrote. While pursuing her music career, Erin is also pursuing a degree in Communications.

Her vast background of performing for local charities enabled her to become involved with WXPN Musicians on Call in Philadelphia and Nashville, a volunteer program that brings acoustic music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities.
