From the thousands of musicians out there, Kelly Zullo has pursued through the chaos, years and craziness, and has been playing a riotous guitar and singing/touring for over 15 years now. Touring regularly, sleeping on couches, moving in and out of cities are the norm, and there are no lack of stories or excitement to go with it.
Musically speaking, Kelly echoes the sentiments of the rioting acoustic guitar, employing a unique fingerpicking style that "She wows listeners with her Outstanding guitar accompaniment". (International Acoustic Music Awards 2011, winner)
Comparisons from Ani Difranco to Kaki King are drawn, but the frenetic quality of the vocal, unafraid to sing about and weave philosophy on the most perplexing parts of life are really the main fabric.
Widely appealing to many tastes, another highlight is the unexpected covers, such as a disco acoustic version of "Funkytown" or "Staying Alive", which echo a more serious 'I really am just staying alive' angle on the tune.
Also doubling as a drummer and lead guitarist, look for her on a fall tour with Canadian artist Ember Swift beginning mid Sept 2011.
