Astra Kelly

Astra Kelly

Astra Kelly is a rare talent with a universal, lyric-based, melodic sound that is an original blend of her Chicago roots in soul and blues merged with rock, indie and acoustic elements. Astra’s early interest in music was fueled by family jams, school choirs and formal music studies. Her passionate performance style is derived from her days of street performing in Chi-town, an undeniable devotion to the music, and incessant touring, including a 2 year, 85,000 mile solo jaunt that ended when her tour van was totaled by a train. Her lyrics read like poetry, speaking of emotional transformation and personal freedom. Whether armed with an acoustic guitar or onstage with the full electric band, her delivery is an powerful expression of her art and sound.
