Kelly's BlogFREE song download plus some BIG news!helllooooooo! Long time no speak! I hope this email finds you well. Gosh lots has happened since we last chatted but rather than a long winded story (my specialty) I'll try to be brief...
I write to you today bearing a gift! A FREE download of one of my new tracks, Back For More which was recorded live in Tamworth at the CMAA Academy. To download the track click on the this link here or on the picture below.  Please feel free to pass on the link to friends! You just need to pop in your email address and with a couple clicks you'll be listening to my track. You'll notice there's an option of leaving a tip - this is not necessary to download the track (unfortunately i wasn't able to set my suggested tip on the website to "$0") but of course any tip will be put towards funding my upcoming project... Which brings me to my next big news, I will be heading into the studio later this year to record my 2nd full length album.... (FINALLY i hear you say!)...and i'll be doing it in Nashville, of course!!!  I'll be recording with the incredibly talented producer/musician/songwriter Neilson Hubbard. I met Neilson in Nashville last year when I visited for the Americana Festival and had the honour of writing with Neilson & Grammy nominated Kim Richey who's last few albums have bern produced by Neilson. Whilst in Nashville I'll also be showcasing again at the Americana Festival! Hooley dooley I'm excited! I have been saving my hard earned cents for a while to fund this project (and continue to) but recently I was thrilled learn that I was the lucky recipient of Arts SA funding to contribute to the recordings and my Nashville showcasing!! It is a massive deal to have received this funding amongst a highly competitive group of applications so I am extremely grateful to Arts SA for their support....thanks so much Arts SA!!! I'll be spending all of September in the studio and anticipate the new album to be released early 2014 so stay tuned for updates!  In other news, the Telstra Road To Discovery program for this year was launched in Sydney last week with special guest Pete Murray, MC'd by Ella Hooper, current winners Gena Rose Bruce and Melody Pool, and past winners Andrew Redford and myself. If you know a singer/songwriter/performer who could benefit from giving the Telstra Road To Discovery a go send them to the TRTD website where they can apply now... www.telstra.com/trtd. I'll leave you with a happy snap of us all on stage....
 hope you're well!
chow for now,
