Kelley Swindall was born and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia, where she grew up listening to the music of Kris Kristofferson, Patsy Cline, and David Allen Coe on the way to church every Sunday morning, because that's what her daddy listened to. When she was old enough to drive herself, she added Ryan Adams, Tom Petty, and Johnny Cash to the mix. Drawing from her southern background, her style is a unique blend of bluesy folk coupled with a witty, gritty, old school country sensibility, with a twinge of the outlaw tradition. Rooted in story songs and talking blues, her debut album "kelley swindall (pronounced ke le swine 'dl)" was released in July of 2014. She performs regularly throughout NYC as well as on the road , both solo and with NYC based musicians Matthew Albeck and Andy Rapoport, as the Kelley Swindall Band, her Alt-Country Blues Rock Project.
