Event Navigation
Kyle Keller is the Americana/folk artist you wish you had discovered sooner. His rolling melodies and potent lyrics will leave you questioning every moment since you last heard his growling bass vocals. Kyle’s self-described “sad songs” are raw, unfiltered, and distinctly relatable. His ability to take you on a discovery of emotion through story-telling is entirely unrivaled.
Jordan Foley is a singer-songwriter based in Orlando, FL. His music is best described by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay as “a special brand of Americana for admirers of bands like American Aquarium, Lucero and Ryan Bingham.”
Jordan released his debut album, Give to Get a Day, on all music streaming services in April 2018. Give to Get a Day is a seven-track album that has gained momentum through Jordan’s first two single releases, “See You Letter” (over 2,900 streams), “Clouds” (over 1,500 streams) and the title track “Give to Get a Day” (over 1,100 streams).
In 2019, Jordan formed his own band called Jordan Foley & The Wheelhouse, and they have been taking Florida by storm. This July, they hit the road for a tour throughout the major Florida cities, opening for the likes of Jacksonville native Josh Card at 1904 Music Hall in Jacksonville and headlining shows in Orlando, Gainesville and St. Petersburg. In August, the band also opened for Austin Lucas & The Bold Party in both Orlando and Tampa.
Jordan has been nominated for Orlando Weekly’s Best Singer-songwriter 2017 and 2019 and Best Folk Act 2018-19. Orlando Weekly’s Bao Le-Huu describes Jordan as “a sound and voice that’s effectively situated between a little twang and a lot of soul. He doesn’t try too hard because he doesn’t need to. Confident in the pocket and the natural power of his expression, Foley’s probably one of the more finished and articulated young examples to emerge in the local Americana scene lately.” On Jordan Foley & The Wheelhouse, Le-Huu says “seeing [his voice] flanked and given full wing by a five-piece ensemble is a splendor. Together, they make for a country-rock outfit that’s lush, articulated and muscular.”
