Kellye Gray Takes Texas Songs and Turns Swing into Soul and Funk into Blues ... Texazz!
Join Kellye Gray and Friends on July 4th at the One World Theatre in Austin, Texas. For an intimate evening as she features her original material and favorite songs from Texas songwriters turned into Texazz! The 7 p.m. show will be full of wonderful, vital music. Complementing Kellyeʼs amazing vocals are some of Austin and Texasʼs most magnetic and passionate jazz players, on keys Red Young, guitarist Jake Langley, pianist/vocalist Pamela York and drummer Sebastian Whittaker.
Kellye's new show deconstructs songs of Texas songwriters and recomposes them into Texazz (pronounced Tejass). From a bossa nova version of Willie Nelson’s “Help Me Make it Through the Night” to a dark jazz fusion version of Shake Russell’s “Deep in the West” Kellye claims her own territory....
