On Saturday, November 21st at The Folly Theater if you ask the question “what’s in a name?” the answer will be “everything”. The Folly is proud to present the first formal on-stage convergence of two brilliant artists from our home area – that just happen to have the same phonetic name.
There is iconic Roots/Blues/Americana singer-songwriter keyboardist Kelley Hunt, with a highly decorated multi-decade international career and who has filled The Folly on several memorable nights. And there is Folk/Americana singer-songwriter banjo player Kelly Hunt, who’s star has been rising rapidly on the international Folk scene since the May 2019 release of her critically acclaimed debut album “Even The Sparrow”.
This show is a study in evocative complements and contrasts, inspired, skilled songwriting coming from very different stylistic directions, and a collaboration of two soulful artists who are also friends and fans of each other….and just happen to answer to the same name.
