Tyler-James Kelly is a longtime professional musician. A guitarist first from an early age of 10. Guitar derivative music was attractive from the get-go, from Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed to Chuck Berry and Buddy Guy. As for song, he was in high school when he first heard Robert Johnson and Hank Williams Sr.  Arguably, the beginnings of all roots music we know and love. He then obsessed through the Jim Croce’s catalog and so on and so on. Soon finding himself deeper into the country world of songwriting and the truth that comes with it. To add there’s probably few bigger Haggard fans. This guitar man strives to be equal parts, smooth as Kristofferson, gritty as Stapleton and honest as Shaver. He has shared stages with Jim Lauderdale, Sean Rowe, Marcus King, Robert Randolph, The Drive By Truckers, The Felice Brothers and many many more. Kelly is to have a record out November 2024 called Dream River.  Don’t miss the chance to see a true seasoned troubadour.
