Robert Shirey Kelly

With stars in his eyes, Robert Kelly wakes up each morning with a story to tell. Then, this energetic, yet pensive, popster peruses books and photographs over coffee, drawing inspiration from his memories, travels, and the longings of hearts not his own. From a prayer book on the floor of a Nashville bookstore, to his wanderings alone through the winding streets of Jerusalem, Robert is breathing in, and singing out, the stories he finds. From cramped coffee shops, to packed auditoriums, opening for acts like Matt Wertz, Jon McLaughlin, and Dave Barnes, Robert Kelly’s thoughtful pop music has audiences on their feet. "A buzzed about songwriter with a sense of adventure and a sound like hope." - Music City Roots
