Love and All That Jazz with Kelley Hunt!

Saturday, February 18 at 7:30 pm

A love-themed evening of music in the spirit of Valentine's Day to benefit Hope Academy of Music and the Arts. This family-friendly event features singer/songwriter/piano player Kelley Hunt and her band laying down some blues-heavy R&B tunes with passion and soul. Hope Academy's HAT Co band will open for Kelley Hunt, with Rev. Randy Bush sitting in on keys. Bring the entire family and share the love!




"Kelley Hunt delivers the goods with a voice that grafts passionate blues to scorching soul - instantly endearing her to all within earshot, as her band surrounds her in a greasy funk that completes the package and brings you back for more."
Eric Thom BLUES REVUE
