Kelly Fitzgerald is the real deal
— a road-tested, soul-driven singer/songwriter who plays over 200 nights a year and has built a global following one powerful performance at a time.
Based in Los Angeles, Kelly has toured extensively across the U.S., Europe, Mexico, and even performed for U.S. and NATO troops in Bosnia and the Balkans. Along the way, she and her band have shared stages with artists such as John Hiatt, Shelby Lynne, Cheap Trick, Eddie Money, The Gin Blossoms, John Oates, and many more.

A Voice That Stays With You
Kelly’s sound is a soulful blend of folk, blues, and rock — smooth and gritty, tender and fierce. Influenced by legends like Billie Holiday, Rickie Lee Jones, and Led Zeppelin, her voice has drawn comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge, and Sheryl Crow — artists known for authenticity, grit, and emotional connection.
The result? Music that feels lived-in. Honest. Unfiltered. Deeply human.

A Proven Songwriter
Kelly has released six albums, including her most recent, Find the Silver Lining, along with fan favorites Be, That and Change, So Far, Halfway to Naked, and Vesica Pisces. Her holiday album Into Christmas features six originals alongside timeless classics.
Her songwriting has reached well beyond the stage:
Her song “Homemade” was featured in multiple episodes of the CBS hit daytime drama The Young and the Restless.
“Blingle Bells” appeared in two Hallmark Christmas films.
“Thank You” premiered on MTV’s The Jersey Shore.
She was selected as a Top 25 Finalist in Nashville’s Music City Songwriting Competition.
She has also written music for educational initiatives and community events, including performing her original “Read, Read, Read” at the Orange County Children’s Book Festival.

Critically Acclaimed
Kelly has worked with Grammy-winning producer Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick) on Halfway to Naked. Douglas praised her craft, saying: “The songs are well crafted and the girl sings phenomenally.”
She’s earned multiple honors, including:
LA Music Awards winner (Best Adult Contemporary Artist)
“Comet Award” for Emerging Artist (LA Women in Music)
Multiple Best Female Vocalist nominations
Music Connection’s “Hot 100 Unsigned Artists”
Critics consistently praise her commanding voice, tight musicianship, and emotionally resonant songwriting.
Kelly Fitzgerald doesn’t just perform songs — she inhabits them. With a seasoned band behind her and a voice that can whisper a confession or soar with gospel-tinged power, she delivers a live show that is both intimate and electrifying.
This night is for those who appreciate authentic, roots-driven artistry with heart and fire.
