““I love storytelling, and these are the genres that tell our stories,” says bandleader Allison Kelly. “Folk music is the passing down of what we know set to a melody, and I’m very honored to carry the torch. My favorite part of any performance is when an audience member tells me how a song we performed brought back a special memory. I want audiences to sing along, clap along, and celebrate these amazing Country Queens with us!””
