Artist
This strong willed songbird “…was born into a blue-collar middle-class Midwest family, brought up on meat and potatoes with strong morals and values.” Timeless influences that ring out beautifully in her highly nuanced Neo-Traditionalist Country songs. Kelly Steward is a classic singer-songwriter in the vein of Emmylou Harris, Shelby Lynne, Tift Merritt, and Kelly Willis. Steward is a musician who acknowledges the importance of historic torchbearers like Bob Dylan and Carol King, and like these masters, Kelly tries “everyday to give a piece of myself in my writing.” And like many singer-songwriters, the trials of life serve as passionate inspiration for Kelly’s songs. After several storied years in Los Angeles, she returned to the Midwest. However, as she puts it, “having found my voice in music and my means to being heard I set my sights on the world…only to end up a few years later right where I began, but it wasn’t the same place, and I wasn’t the same person.” But through it all her creative strengths would glow with a brilliant resilience. “I’M AN ARTIST…I dare to be free, thrive on change, and driven by passion.” .
