about
Jeff O’Kelley was raised in a small North Carolina college town, where he soaked up the rich, local music scene until his departure for the “big city” shortly after high school. It is this small town childhood, interwoven with his years living throughout the South, which has provided the framework for his special mix of Americana, Roots Rock, Pop and Contemporary Country styles. Although his music has been compared to artists such as John Mellencamp, James Taylor and John Hiatt, he stamps each song with his own distinctive style. As a solo performer, with a duo partner or a full band, Jeff connects with his audience and leaves them wanting more. Jeff performs an average of 100 shows annually and has shared stages with such diverse acts as Little Feat, James Brown, Tommy Cash, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Atlanta Rhythm Section, Meatloaf and Don Dixon. He also performs regularly as backup guitarist for country recording artist Erin Gill and as a member of The Dave Muse Band. He has worked in live theater and was called upon to compose music for the pop rock musical “Perception”, in which he also appeared as a cast member.
