About this Event
On Wednesday, January 15th, Kelly Hunt will showcase her poetic lyrics, lilting melodies, and intriguing arrangements at an intimate show in the Tap Room at Waldo Pizza. Doors open at 5:30pm and the show starts at 7:00pm.
Memphis-raised singer-songwriter, Kelly Hunt, paints stories as old and offbeat as her Depression-era tenor banjo and parlor guitar, reimagining traditions of folk & old-time music with innovative vigor. Interweaving poetic lyrics, lilting melodies, and intriguing arrangements, Hunt casts a spell which No Depression describes as “the musical equivalent of a book you can’t put down, one you’ll want to revisit again and again to catch every nuance and turn of phrase.”Hunt’s 2019 debut album, Even The Sparrow, was a finalist for the International Folk Music Awards “Album of the Year.” Her sophomore album, Ozark Symphony, was recorded with Grammy-winning musician & producer Dirk Powell and released on Compass Records in 2023.
“Kelly Hunt sings with the lilting cadence of a folksinger born somewhere far away, sometime long ago.”
— ROBERT CRAWFORD [ROLLING STONE COUNTRY]
“Standing shoulder to shoulder with contemporaries like Gillian Welch and Rhiannon Giddens...folk music harking back to the stripped-down sounds of Leadbelly, Robert Johnson and Woody Guthrie.”
— JOHN VAITES [AMERICANA UK]
