About This Show
Multi-instrumentalist’s co-produced sixth disc brings her stunning
range and soulful vision to the fore with lavish support from cast of
all-star musical friends
LAWRENCE, KS — Kelley Hunt’s new album, The Beautiful Bones, offers a dozen
superbly crafted songs that blend timeless music with a contemporary perspective –
drawing a bead on modern life with grace, humor and gravity through the earthy poetry
of her lyrics. Those songs are buoyed by a performing style that balances Hunt’s
virtuosity with the down-home gospel, soul and R&B that’s part of her DNA.
The title track is a perfect example of Hunt’s art, with its shimmering guitar and
B-3 organ providing a gorgeously textured canvas for her haunting, soulful voice. And its
storyline is an equally deep illustration of her multi-faceted writing, celebrating both the
joy of life and its impermanence, while quietly reminding that the Earth is a delicate and mortal place that must be tendered.
Starting with 1994’s Kelley Hunt, she has developed a reputation as a torchbearer
of authentic, straight-from-the-heart music with deep roots that transcend limitations of
genre. That has been her passkey to building a fan base through both radio play and
performances at clubs and at roots and pop music festivals throughout the United States,
Canada and Europe. She has also been a guest DJ on Sirius/XM Radio’s “B.B. King’s
Bluesville” and made six appearances on American Public Media’s popular A Prairie
Home Companion.
“My goal is to continually grow as an artist, and The Beautiful Bones is part of
that,” Hunt says. “I’m also aware that my music exists to serve other people, the way that
the music of all the artists that I loved while I was growing up served me. Ultimately,
that’s really what is most gratifying.”
