Kimberly Kelly

Texas singer/songwriter Kimberly Kelly spent years honing a sound that eschewed country's pop affectations in favor of classic honky tonk arrangements and smart lyrics that balanced wit and heart in equal measure. By the time she signed a deal with Show Dog Nashville, she'd already strung together an intriguing career, touring and releasing a couple of D.I.Y. albums, playing in her sister Kristen Kelly's band, and forging a close bond with outlaw icon Billie Joe Shaver. All the pieces were in place when she made her label debut with 2022's I'll Tell You What's Gonna Happen.
