Originally hailing from Memphis, TN, Kelly Hunt spins songs that are as surprising and new as they are deeply rooted in time-honored traditions of folk, blues, and old-time music. In her debut release “Even the Sparrow,” Kelly’s lilting melodies and nuanced lyrics—combined with her haunting, crystalline voice and distinctive approach to the banjo —have inspired praise & fascination amongst a variety of critics:
“Hunt lets the instrument shape her syllables. From the first instant you know you’re in a place where there is no sense of time, where anything can happen and no one will ever have to admit to a thing.” — GREIL MARCUS [ROLLING STONE]
“Standing shoulder to shoulder with contemporaries like Gillian Welch and Rhiannon Giddens...folk music harking back to the stripped-down sounds of Leadbelly, Robert Johnson and Woody Guthrie.” — JOHN VAITES [AMERICANA UK]
“Kelly Hunt sings with the lilting cadence of a folksinger born somewhere far away, sometime long ago.” — ROBERT CRAWFORD [ROLLING STONE COUNTRY]
