Hi everyone,

It’s time! We have the first date of the fall tour ready for you on the 23.11.2009 Metrocinema, Kiel (D)! Tickets will start being sold on the 20.06.2009. Any information about where to get tickets will naturally be posted here as soon as we have more information.

Jimmy also has a surprise for all of you.

Jimmy: “For this tour I will be starting a new band called “THE KELLYS” together with Adam Kelly, (Adam and I are cousins) his wife Jessi and my wife Meike.

What can you expect? It will be a mixture of Folk, Country, Bluegrass and self-written songs. As well as instrumental jigs.

How did this all start? Two years ago Adam, Jessi and I met each other on the streets. I just started making street music again and one day Adam and Jessi happened to be performing in the same city, on the same street! After meeting each other we stayed in touch, even when Adam moved with his family to Nashville, U.S.A.
Two years went by until Adam, Jessi and their two children came to visit us all the way from America, for a nice family get together. Very soon we began making music. Adam played Guitar, Jessi the fiddle, Meike the accordion, and I played the harmonica. After a few nights of singing together we all realized that the joy and spirit we found playing, should be presented to the public. All right, we hope you love our new band as much as we do. We are also looking forward to the fall tour.”

For the fall tour there are a bunch of concerts being planned. Just go to Jimmy’s website for any new information. Or visit the new "The Kellys" Myspace site under: www.myspace.com/thekellysband

See you soon !

Your Jimmy Kelly Team
