Bio coming soon |
He grew up a poor white boy singing in a catholic church choir, where he recorded his first full length album. His Dad wanted him to be another Al Hirt and got him a trumpet. The local neighbors put a stop to that after one week. He went on to try playing the guitar, but found that his fingers did not want to cooperate in making chords properly. It was then his mother said, "you're always beating the hell outta my pots and pans, go get some drums". He did and signed on with several local Virginia country and rock bands and here he is today still trying to perfect his craft. He currently plays a 7 piece Yamaha "YD Series" kit with Zildjian and Paiste cymbals and whatever twigs he can find to whittle into sticks.

Michael Kelly was born and raised in good ol' Midwest America in the small town of Granite City, Illinois. Starting out as a drummer in the fourth grade, he later acquired the guitar and keyboard habit and by high school gigged regularly with the rock outfit Gideon throughout the 1970's. In the eighties he decided to get serious about learning music and attended Southern Illinois University Edwardsville earning a BM in Music Education with a concentration in viola. After college he taught music in various public schools in Illinois and then later Florida. In the late nineties he got back into performing, while living in the Tampa Bay area, with the disco/funk group Alphabet Soup. However, he soon ditched his platform shoes and leather pants and moved with his wife and son to Nashville, Tennessee where he studied Audio Engineering at the world renowned S.A.E. Institute of Technology. Upon graduation, he worked at Martina McBrides Blackbird Studio and Sony/Tree Music Publishing Pro Tools Studio B. Currently he resides in the Jacksonville, FL area and freelances as a sound engineer and string teacher. He sings and plays guitar/ keyboard in the Streetlegal Band. |

Because of the dough I’m a 5-string thumper,
Without any vox They said write a bio,
But what can I say Just living this life,
And having some fun Axe- Factory Ibanez SRX655
