SARAH KELLY FEATURED ARTIST ON BLASTMYMUSIC.COM
TWO-TIME GRAMMY NOMINEE SET TO PLAY SXSW
(Los Angeles, CA) Two-time Grammy nominee and singing sensation, Sarah Kelly, is the featured artist for the month of March on the innovative, new music site Blastmymusic.com. Sarah’s 2004 Grammy-nominated Gotee debut, Take Me Away , helped her to build a formidable fan base for an indie artist. Now, she will expand her reach through the featured position on Blastmymusic.com, the ultimate tool of empowerment for recording artists. Launched in October 2006 by 25-year-old founder, Chris Fellure, artists need only to log on, create a profile, and upload their music for sale directly to the public with two-thirds of each sale going right back to the artist. Sarah Kelly currently has three songs on Blastmymusic.com’s Top Ten downloads list.
An artistic decree may be the best way to describe Sarah Kelly’s sophomore album, the Grammy nominated Where the Past Meets Today. Produced by uber-hard rock legend Mike Clink, who has worked for such great bands as Guns `N Roses, the album showcases an eclectic variety of featured musicians including Chris Chaney (Jane’s Addiction), Nick Lashley (Alanis Morissette) and GNR icon, Slash. The mild-mannered daughter of a Pastor from Rockford, IL, Sarah may speak in sweet and sensitive tones, but she unflinchingly rips into song with one of the most distinctive and visceral voices this side of Janis Joplin. “I approach my music the same way I live my life. I take whatever’s in front of me and try to bring out the beauty that’s inside of it. Much of the time, the beauty is found inside the flaw.”
Catch Sarah Kelly this week at the SXSW music festival in Austin, TX where she will perform on the Heidi’s Night of Beauty bill at Moonshine.
