About
Bright new artist Kel Elliott is not only a singer and a writer but a double bass player too...she is a singing double bass playing writer to be precise. Born into a long line of musicians, her flair is half inherited, and half influenced by artist such as Tom Waits, Michelle Shocked and Bonnie Raitt, and inspired by contemporaries like Madaleine Peyroux, Kt Tunstall and Norah Jones.
Kel writes songs that have a fresh optimistic sound, her lyrics are poetic and clever and have intimate ardent charm. Her style is very much bluesy Jazz with catchy melodies and an infectious groove. Kel's vocals are distinctly rich and powerful, ballsy but sweet, but it is the impressive combination of voice and double bass that sets her apart from her contemporaries.
Kel performs both acoustically and with her band, a talentened and classy bunch of musicians in the form of Kelvin Leitch on drums and percussion, Mark Steeds on piano and Dave Page on rhythm and lead guitar.
