Kelly V’s debut CD “Dandelions” shows that her music anchors a spectrum of genres with a rootsy core. Listening to Dandelions is to anticipate what is around the next corner as each cut is as unpredictable as she is. An artist borne from a journey through the many musical styles that have influenced her, Kelly V’s art is honest and intense with lyrics that embody an inviting simplicity. Her gutsy, yet often vulnerable vocals seem to express the etchings of life on the psyche. In 2004, Kelly V and her powerhouse band won the Utah South by Southwest showdown to Austin, out-performing 40 bands, awarding her an invitation to showcase at South by Southwest Conference and Music Festival in Austin Texas. “Kelly V has the blues-smoked voice of a honkytonk angel” says Bill Frost, SLC Weekly. Always a creative artist and engaging performer, Kelly V continues to deliver dynamic performances from raw acoustic sets to the undeniable energy of a 7 piece band.
