GiG Performance Space presents touring Folk/Americana singer-songwriter, Kelly Hunt.Memphis-raised singer-songwriter, Kelly Hunt, paints stories as old and offbeat as her Depression-era tenor banjo and 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 will be joined by special guest Sara Morgan!
From the first instant you know you’re in a place where there is no sense of time, where anything can happen and no one will ever have to admit to a thing. — ROLLING STONE
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. — AMERICANA UK
Uncanny is Hunt’s innate ability to summon the same vigorous energy of classic folk players, all while pushing forward to modernize the instrument’s role in contemporary songwriting...She delivers her lyrics with an earthen frankness that can’t be taught. — POPMATTERS
Once in a while, a musical project comes along that truly captures the spirit of America…Kelly Hunt’s OZARK SYMPHONY does exactly this…[it] is not just a collection of songs but a collaboration of pure musical genius. Teaming up with renowned producer Dirk Powell, the result is nothing short of a masterpiece. — GRATEFUL WEB
