Kelly Riley on the guitar!

Kelly Riley is a singer/songwriter from Troy, Idaho. Her music is a diversified mix of western, folk and blues but for Kelly - the music is about the words. The lyrics come from the heart and take you on a journey through landscapes deep and wide. They evoke the solace of open spaces and emotions - sometimes beautiful, sometimes raw. The rhythm guitar often echoes the words, inviting you into the story.  

The journey began in 2003 when I picked up my guitar again after a 20 year lapse. I crossed paths with the right people - started playing, singing and celebrating the music that had been missing all those years.

Somewhere inside I had been storing the creative energy to write songs. My first song, ‘Where the Landscape Runs Deep’, was written in January 2004. The words and music keep flowing. The culmination of the last two years of transition, turmoil, and personal growth have resulted in the creation of my first CD - ‘My Kind of Road’. Enjoy!

Kelly is a founding member of the band Zugunrue that has performed on the Palouse since 2004. Her first CD - My Kind of Road- was released in December 2006. Find out more about Kelly at www.coyoterim.com
