Casey Kelly & Leslie Ellis, award-winning Americana duo from Nashville, will perform their Journey Through Genres with Storytelling, Comedic Chemistry and Songs on Saturday, October 12, 2019 at 7:30 pm, in Ohio University Southern’s Bowman Auditorium. Admission is $10, season tickets are $40, and both are available at the performance. Ohio University students are admitted free with ID.

They create a Multi-Genre Experience by drawing from their past and present experiences and combining original songs with fresh takes on old favorites. Through their touching, and sometimes hysterically humorous stories, the audience can catch a glimpse of the ups and downs of life in the music business and how the unexpected things in life lead you right to where you belong.

Kelly & Ellis are not newcomers to performing. Multi-instrumentalist and twice Grammy® nominated songwriter Casey Kelly, began his career as a Rock-n-Roll recording artist for Elektra Records, touring with Loggins & Messina, Poco, and the Beach Boys.

Grammy® award winning vocalist Leslie Ellis, began her career on Broadway starring in award-winning shows like “La Cage aux Folles” and “CATS, The Musical.” After her Broadway days, Leslie became a sought-after studio singer and in 1998 won a Grammy® award for singing with Celine Dion on “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic. Kelly & Ellis’ 2017 release entitled The Long Road to You won a 2018 IMEA Award for AC Album of the Year.
