Born into a family of musical enthusiasts and entertainers,
Kelly’s grandpa started a family band that entertained TV audiences for 17
years; there were few doubts about the direction her life might take. Her path
began with a country-folk record with her brother Kaylen Prescott, the
rollicking Lakeside Sessions (2009). Songs like ‘Take That’ and ‘Carrying
Coal’ (>> Video) quickly established Kelly as one
of the finest young interpreters of country music and a powerful vocalist.
This was followed by a critically acclaimed tour playing the role of Emmylou Harris in the theatrical production, Grievous Angel: The Legend of Gram Parsons. Kelly then recorded a well-received solo roots/blues album I Leave You Dreaming (2011; Spotify). With a love for harmonies, her roots led her to form The Claytones, described as a “Canadiana brand of country soaked roots music with old school sensibilities”. They produced two records, Lake in the Night (2012; Bandcamp), and Reserva (2013; Bandcamp), catching the attention of Bob Harris for his BBC Radio 2 show (spins: “Out On The Road Tonight” played on 14th Oct 2012 and “Brother Hold On” aired on his 14th March 2013 show). She also gained airplay on Karen Millers The Miller Tells Her Tale Americana Radio Show
With this new EP, Hillbilly Jewels, Kelly takes the next
step in her craft, with songs that speak to a new generation of lovers of
country music; plenty of energy, deep passion, powerful vocals, and honest
storytelling about real life today.
