The Bridget Kelly Band is an electric blues band that rocks the house with their unique blend of hot smokin' blues. Their CD “Back in the Blues”, released in March of 2013 (Alpha Sun Records), contained all original blues songs couched in styles that range from Chicago and Memphis blues to Texas Blues. In live shows, the group also performs music of B.B. King, T. Bone Walker, Etta James, and Bonnie Raitt. The band’s original compositions have been featured on WXJZ Smooth Jazz in Gainesville (Q-quincy’s Blues Show) as well as radio shows throughout the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, Italy, Germany, and France. The group performs at a wide variety of music venues -- clubs, concerts, and festivals across Florida; and has opened shows and shared the stage with numerous top recording and touring blues artists including Albert Castiglia, Jeff Jensen, Biscuit Miller, Willie Green, Brandon Santini, and Victor Wainwright.
Based out of Gainesville, Florida, the Bridget Kelly Band are active members of the North-Central Florida Blues Society. The band’s music has been regularly featured on Kevin Black's "Women in the Blues“ and "Black on Blues" show (U.K.), Tony T.C. Corner’s “Blues Corner” radio show (U.K.), Best of 2013 CDs: John Hammer’s “Hammered by the Blues” radio show, and the group continues to perform at festivals and live entertainment clubs/venues throughout the Southeast. Recent dates have included performances at Vetfest and Bikefest (at Thunder Music Park, Hampton, FL), St. John's River Blues Festival, Florida's Azalea Festival, The High Dive (Gainesville, FL) with Albert “The Kid” Castiglia, The Dirty Martini Bar (Gainesville, FL), The Thomas Center (Gainesville, FL), Billy's Downtown Blues Bar (Palatka, FL) with Victor Wainwright, Roberts Hall (Lynn Haven, FL), Skipper's Smokehouse (Tampa, FL), Topsail Hill State Park's "Red, White & Blues" Concert (Santa Rosa Beach, FL), Ellie Ray's (Branford, FL), Bradfordville Blues Club (Tallahassee, FL), and Florida's Blue Crab Festival... just to name a few. The Bridget Kelly Band's first release-- "Back in the Blues" (2013) was chosen as the North Central Florida Blues Society’s regional entrant into the IBC's Best Independently Produced CD for 2013. Bridget Kelly was also featured in the Women in the Blues Showcase at the IBC in Memphis, closing the show at the fabled Center for Southern Folklore. Bridget Kelly and guitarist Tim Fik were invited to sit in with Brandon Santini and Jeff Jensen and his band at W.C. Handy's Blues Hall (Memphis, TN) the weekend of the IBC (Jan. 2014). While attending the BMA’s (May 2014),Bridget performed at Beale Street’s famous Rum Boogie Night Club, sitting in with Sonny Rock and Tas Cru. The Bridget Kelly Band's new CD "Forever in Blues" was officially release in the summer of 2014, and contains 15 new original songs couched in a modern-day electric blues style than blends elements of classic blues with guitar-driven Texas and Memphis blues.
Chris Manson, music review writer for Beachcomber Magazine, wrote: "Hard to distinguish yourself in the blues genre these days, but this Gainesville four-piece gives it their best shot.. The front-woman at times suggests what Fleetwood Mac might have sounded like had that band continued playing the blues once Stevie Nicks joined the fold,
and Tim Fik’s guitar is appealing throughout." Gary Anton of the Bradfordville Blues Club (Tallahassee, FL) wrote"This four-piece band from the Gainesville area is fronted by vocalist Bridget Kelly and backed up by some pretty hot and tasteful picking by guitarist Tim Fik. Bridget and Tim combine a retro '60's and '80's sound for a unique take on blues-rock. Mike Hamm on bass and Michael Barady round out the rhythm section." Chazz Clooney of Black Fox Productions had this to say: "A rockin' blues band out of the Gainesville, Florida area that you have to see to believe! Having met all of the band members I can honestly say they are a great bunch of people and fine musicians. Bridget Kelly , with her soulful but also raspy and strong vocals belts out the blues like nobody's bi-ness...while master class guitarist Tim Fik rips off blues runs reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughn...and all of it held together like glue by the bass playing of Mike Hamm and the skin smackin' of Michael Barady... This band Rocks some Blues!!! This is one band you WANT to see!!!"
