An evening with indie blues/R&B pianist and singer-songwriter Kelley Hunt. You won’t want to miss this!
The L.A. Daily News says about Kelley Hunt “Hunt’s voice has both power and flexibility, so running the gamut from hard-core blues to religious raving to the most vocally sophisticated r&b is a natural enough strategy. She’s also a pretty good songwriter; album opener ‘Waking Up Slow’ works both as a metaphor for reluctant growth and, well, not wanting to get out of bed in the morning. Hunt has good taste in other people’s material as well, and knows how to make everything from the Beatles’ ‘The Word’ to Jesse Winchester’s ‘That’s What Makes You Strong’ her earthy own.”
