Kathy Kelly

Born: March 6, 1963
in Leominster, Massachusetts, USA
Kathleen Ann Kelly (born 6 March 1961) is a singer, songwriter, and producer. Born in Leominster, Massachusetts, she is the third child of the musical family group The Kelly Family, a multi-generational pop group that achieved success in Europe in the 1990s.

In 1999, Kathy released her first solo album titled The Best Of Kathy Kelly which, in addition to her best songs from the albums of The Kelly Family (see The Kelly Family discography), contained five new songs. While still recording and touring with the group throughout the 2000s, Kathy worked on her solo projects, which resulted in three more LPs up to date and a number of singles. Some of the songs included were new versions of the traditional songs from all over the world previously sung by the group from as early as the 1970s; notably "Amazing Grace", "Motherless child", "Old Black Joe", "The Rose of Tralee".

Kathy was born in the US, on 1961. She is the third of five children born from the marriage of Daniel Kelly, Sr. and Joanne.

Kathy was homeschooled, just like her elder and younger siblings. She also learned ballet and to play the violin. Later, she was also the teacher of her younger siblings. Kathleen can also play the guitar, accordion, keyboards, piano among others.

In 1974, Kathy, Caroline, Paul, John and Patricia formed The Kelly Kids, to play at children's parties or in the streets. The band was later called The Kelly Family, as Dan and Barbara also joined, later followed by Kathy's siblings.

The Kelly Family became popular in their early years as a street band. Kathy usually played the violin along with Paul, but when Caroline left, she started to play the accordion more frequently. Kathy was also the one who arranged most of the songs and she was the first of the siblings to write a song, as she is credited as the writer of Lonely, a song recorded in 1981 which features lead vocals from then-main vocalist John, and Papa Dan. She was also one of the main producers and has recorded most of the albums from the '80s until the late '90s.

1994 was the year of the breakout for the Kelly Family, after the Kellys started to sell CDs on shops. Their CD Over the Hump sold 5 million copies. This was followed up by Christmas for All, Almost Heaven, Growin' Up, and From Their Hearts. In the last, Kathy's son, Sean, is also present doing vocals on "Dance to the Rock 'n Roll".

In 2000, Kathy Kelly left the band to pursue a solo career. Her last song sung for the band was By Myself but Not Alone with her brother John in 1999.

She later returned to tour with the band from 2007 to 2008.

She also participated at Paddy Kelly's Stille Nacht Tour, along with Paul, Patricia, Joey Kelly, Michael Patrick Kelly and guest Caroline Kelly in 2011. Recordings of the concerts were taken and released in a live CD called Stille Nacht Live-CD 2011.

She also took part in the 2012 tour, called Stille Nacht 2012, and another live CD was released from the tour in September 2013.

In 2017, the Kelly Family reunited with seven members, and once again Kathy was part of the band. The Kelly Family released an album called We Got Love, on which Kathy sings six songs. ...

This is a strange little movie. It's partly a road movie. It's partly a documentary. It's partly a backstage pass. It's a strange little movie that takes a look at an extraordinary group of people - The Kelly Family. It's a strange little movie shot during the course of their winter tour of 2002 / 2003 on the roads of mainland Europe through Germany, Holland and Belgium. It's a strange little movie about life, about love, about loss... about the future. Actually, mostly it's a movie about the future, about the road ahead, about the next concert, about the next song... about the music. In fact above all it's about the music, because this is the Kelly Family and first last and always it's about the music.
