Kristen Kelly
I can think of no better way to enjoy the euphoria of summer and the return of live music than at an outdoor concert. That’s a promise soon to be fulfilled at The Farm at Old Edwards during Orchard Sessions.
On Thursday, July 22, country artist Kristen Kelly will headline, and glorious listening is sure to ensue.
Growing up in small-town Lorena, Texas, Kelly studied the music of her late grandfather, country musician Sterling and learned about classic rock from her father. Along the way, she fell in love with the Blues. She learned to love poetry and listened to country giants; the Judds, George Strait, and Willie Nelson. Kelly spent her youth singing in church and talent shows and in the high school choir. She pursued a music degree at Waco’s McLennan Community College. She started writing and recording with a friend and released an album entitled Highway is My Home under Modern Day Drifters. In 2010 after her collaborator had moved on, she recorded Peacekeeper under her name.
She spent the years following touring with some of the biggest names in country music – Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Sheryl Crow, and Willie Nelson, and performing at the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, and Nashville’s Bluebird Café.
She released three new singles in 2020, including Ashes, which was featured on Season 7 Episode 1 of the Netflix series The Ranch. In April this year she celebrated her return to the music scene and country music with her latest album, Something Worth Saying – described by one writer as “the perfect quintessentially country album.
The show begins Thursday at 6:00 PM and finishes at 8:00 PM – perhaps just in time to stargaze at the night sky. The cover charge is $15 for hotel guests and members with early online tickets available. And there is a $25 cover charge for the public, with online ticket sales opening two weeks in advance, if available. Every ticket includes complimentary light bites and a cash bar. The sessions will move indoors to the new Orchard House in the event of rain.
