Kelly's Lot was formed in 1994 by Kelly Zirbes, a folk singer/songwriter with a heart for the blues. They are known for lifting up their audiences with an energetic connection created by the music and the lyrics. With 17 CDs and lots of touring in the USA and Europe, the band celebrates 30 years since the first night the band hit the stage at the Roxy in Hollywood. Kelly Z met Texas guitar player and sound man, Perry Robertson in 1996, who soon after produced ‘Kelly’s Lot - Live at the Troubadour’. Within a year he joined the band, started writing songs with Kelly Z and added the Southern Rock and Texas Blues influences that have helped shape the Kelly's Lot sound. In the last 10 years they have played some of the larger festivals like BeachLife Ranch, Waterfront Blues Festival, Happy Face Music Festival, Simi Valley Cajun and Blues Festival, Oxnard Jazz Festival and in Europe, Nuits de Sologne and Lavaudieu Music Festival. Perry has recorded and produced all of the band’s music including studio and live albums, acoustic and electric. In 2023 Kelly and ‘The Lot’ released a single with keyboard player/singer Mo Beeks called ‘I Gotta Sing The Blues’ which inspired their 2024 album, ‘The Blues Remind Me’, a release with lots of heart, horns and riffs! In 2025 they returned again to their rootsy Folk/Rock spirit with a new album, Late Bloomer, with lyrics that tell of a struggle and a hope for a better world. In the last couple years Kelly’s Lot has brought their music to folks in Texas, France, Ireland, Croatia and Switzerland and a lot of shows in their home base of Southern California. In 2026, they will tour with a 4WD version of Kelly’s Lot but will offer the Kelly's Lot DUO as another option to smaller festivals and venues. Kelly Z has been described as a public display of fun and affection. With the spirit and energy of a wild entertainer she also has an intense songwriter's heart. Perry is also fun and raucous and is described as a joyous acoustic guitar player. Like always, they'll be playing lots of original Blues and Americana styles to create an eclectic mix of fun. Stay tuned, they are just getting started after 30 years.
We will have coffee (strong and fabulous!), teas, Boxed Water, sodas and cocoa! Our commitment to inclusion, community care, and clean air events continue, join us as we celebrate our 39th year of showcasing acoustic music, poetry, and much more!
