Raised in the Mountains of Southwest Virginia, and currently based in Nashville, Tennessee; Kelsey Rae brings Country gold back to life with her resonant and nostalgic voice. Singing with a clear lonesome vibrato, she portrays stories of tragedy, love, and disillusionment in her original tunes. Rae also pulls from an expansive catalog of classic numbers and has been a resident performer at several of Nashville’s famed venues such as Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge, American Legion Post 82, Layla’s Honky Tonk, and The Nashville Palace. An emerging voice of the Roots music scene, Kelsey Rae’s old-soul sound combines a reverence for Country music with tinges of Bluegrass, Gospel, and the Appalachian Folk music she grew up on. Her performances are uncompromisingly genuine and display an innate ability to reach the core of human emotion with an honest-to-goodness talent in her vocal delivery that has earned her respect in Nashville and beyond and thoughtful musical sensitivities that reflect her authentic Appalachian roots and upbringing.
