The Kelley Family Christmas CD Release
Singing For Childhood Christmas Tree Unexpectedly grows into Kelley Family Holiday Album
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
Nashville-based singer and hit songwriter Irene Kelley is using her voice combined with those of her two successful artist daughters to bring holiday cheer and help raise funds for the Healing Gardens project created by Patio Records founder and philanthropist, Terry Eagan.
The Kelley Family Christmas album will be the 14th album released on Patio Records, available November 24th on CD and digitally on all platforms.
The Kelley Family Christmas album is familiar yet fresh, including 12 tracks with each Kelley singing four songs featuring very different and identifiable leads, while the other two provide beautifully woven harmony vocals. “We all had our list of maybe 30 songs. We pared them down to the 12 making sure each of us appeared on an equal amount of songs,” explains Irene.
Believing the record should be non-genre specific, the trio of ladies chose a piano-based ap-
proach to instrumentation. “Our musical arranger, Will Barrow, was a no-brainer for us,”
Justyna says. “He has played music with us since my sister and I were kids... his musicianship
and musical sensibilities are beyond compare. He and mom helped cast the right assortment of
players, and it worked out magically.”
