Bands & Entertainment
It’s been a long road for Hello Kelly since their humble beginnings in the summer of 2004, playing for pizza and a place to stay. Often dubbed “the hardest working band in Ontario”, Hello Kelly had soon shared the stage with Christian music favourites Thousand Foot Krutch, Starfield, Superchick and Hawk Nelson and seen success with three #1 CHR singles on Canadian Christian radio. Now, having signed with 7 Spin Music, Hello Kelly is gearing up to melt faces everywhere with their first full-length release, titled “Hello Kelly”, produced by new comer Adam Smith. Lead vocalist and songwriter Francy explains, “We really wanted to go the self-titled route because there was no better name than ‘Hello Kelly’ for a record full of songs written to encourage, empower and challenge Kelly.” So wait … Who’s Kelly?
- Kelly is the reason Hello Kelly is on the road. Kelly is anybody who listens.
- Kelly is that listener who doesn’t know who he is. Hello Kelly exists to encourage Kelly to build his own dreams.
- Kelly is that listener who doesn’t know what she believes. Hello Kelly exists to challenge Kelly to define her own beliefs.
There’s a reason these guys still love running their own merch table and there’s a reason these guys are usually the last ones out of the venue. There’s even a reason these guys still find themselves sleeping in their van and eating peanut butter sandwiches some nights. It’s all for Kelly.
