Kelly's Clan
Irish Acoustic Trio

Kelly's Clan revels in the traditional melodies and acoustic instrumentation of the Celtic music genre.
The fun-loving trio channels the communal feel of an Irish pub on raucous sing-alongs,
and delivers the mellow, richly beautiful ballads and stirring rebel songs of the "auld sod."

With guitars, mandolin, percussion and horns, the Clan's infectious tunes infuses roots, blues
and world music influences, along with the jigs and reels of Ireland into each performance.

Based in the Des Moines area, Kelly's Clan is available to add a Celtic musical touch from Eire
to inspire "Ol, ceol agus craic" (a good pint, great music and wonderful entertainment) at any event.

Kelly's Clan    Song Sampler

These tunes were recorded live in the summer of 2008
 at a Sunday neighborhood concert in Ames, Iowa.
Not "studio" quality, but we had a lot of fun on a beautiful afternoon.
A couple are not Celtic, but part of our eclectic live show, just as well.
     [ Forgive an occasional feedback squeal, won't you? ]
