Kelly's Lot was formed in 1994 by Kelly Zirbes, a folk singer/songwriter with a heart for the blues. With 15 CDs and lots of touring in the USA and Europe, the band celebrates 26 years since the first night the band hit the stage at the Roxy in Hollywood. Kelly Z met guitar player and soundman, Perry Robertson in 1996, who soon after produced ‘Kelly’s Lot - Live at the Troubadour’. Within a year he joined the band, started writing songs with Kelly Z and added the Southern sound and Texas influences that have shaped their sound. In May and June of 2020, Kelly Z and Perry worked with Doug Pettibone to record a new selection of Contemporary Folk and Roots Rock songs. Six of the songs on the album were inspired by words from fans on facebook. Kelly Z challenged them to look in their hearts and share just one word. She then challenged herself to choose a word and write a song in two hours. The new selection of songs is called 'ANOTHER SKY', out now. As a duo, a 4 piece or a full 8 piece band they always pack a lot of energy while still getting to the heart of the listener.
Kelly's Lot plays a blend of folk, blues, and Americana, often incorporating elements of roots rock and a Southern sound across their 17 albums.
