This Montrealer's wistful folk and mellow country pop exude warmth and intimacy. Whether he's singing about the sad state of the environment, the fond memories of a past relationship or the fact that he can't dance, there's an understated strength to his songs. Kelly's voice can shift from a honeyed croon to a declamatory moan, while fingerpicked acoustic guitar, trilling piano and cantering drums ensure that his tender tales of the heart burrow in and stay with you.
