Kelly’s Lot celebrates 30 years with a new release, ‘The Blues Remind Me’.
While this is only their third Blues collection, they have included Blues tracks on all previous sixteen albums and have played that genre since the first night they hit the stage at the Roxy in Hollywood.
With the strong rhythm section of Mike Sauer on Drums and Matt McFadden on Bass, the album has a solid foundation to present this all original selection of songs. Keyboard player Mo Beeks, adds hismagical touch playing on the majority of the tracks and singing a duet with Kelly Z. Longtime band member and Sax player Bill Johnston arranged the horns as he had for the 2014 ‘Don’t Give My Blues Away’.
Paulie Cerra on Sax and Tomislav Goluban on Harp, bring their ‘Special Guest’ best while Didier Reyes,Chip Tingle and Aviva Maloney, who also played Flute, round out the Horn section with Bill and Paulie.
Bandmates, Rob Zucca, Gary Bivona, and Frank Hinojosa added Guitar, Flugel Horn, and Harp to complete the recording of songs written by Zirbes and Robertson.
Guitarist and soundman Perry Robertson joined the band in1996, started writing songs with Kelly and has recorded and produced all their music since. Adding Mixer to his credits for the first time wiith the 2021 LIVE album, ‘Where and When’, Perry stayed at the mixing board for ‘The Blues Remind Me’ and brought in Fred Paragano to do a Dolby Atmos Mix.
