Kelly Bell Band
Steeped in the sultry blues of the Mississippi Delta and infused with the vibrant energy of Baltimore's streets, the Kelly Bell Band strikes a mesmerizing chord that echoes through the soul.
Soul, Blues, Reggae, Funk, and more… it’s a mishmash of urban styles when the Kelly Bell Band comes to town. Voted the Top Blues Band in Baltimore for 12 years running, they bring together many genres that are lost in today’s culture. With elements of Motown combined with today’s modern rock and pop, there’s simply no show that compares to a Kelly Bell show. Fronted by a professional wrestler, well-known Baltimore radio personality, and special education teacher who arose from inner-city Washington, DC, the story of Kelly Bell (and his stories on stage) will keep you fascinated from the opening note. They have passed the 100,000 record sales mark, still as an independent band, and have been touring with acts as diverse as Maroon 5, Ziggy Marley, Buddy Guy, G Love & Special Sauce, James Brown, Edwin McCain, and many more!
Their debut album, ‘Phat Blues Music,’ remains one of the best selling releases in Mid-Atlantic region history. In addition, the band has won two prestigious Maryland Music Awards, including “Best Blues Band.” In 2018 they were nominated for the “Music Icon” award, which acknowledges important contributors to the Maryland music scene. KBB has been voted “Best Blues Band” in the Mid Atlantic Region (12 years in a row), and was recently named “Best Band” by Baltimore Style Magazine.
Don't miss this blues event of the ages. See you at the show!
