Kaci Bolls

If the stars that look down on a Kentucky girl walking barefoot home with a broken heart had a voice, they would sound like Kaci Bolls. She is the whispered rumor at the church picnic, holy water in a whiskey bottle, a sweet tomorrow with a checkered past. Whether joyful or dark-she's always real.

Biography

Kaci Bolls grew up in Murray, KY - Population 14,950. Raised by an elementary school teacher and a Church of Christ songleader, she learned young the magic of music and the thrill of performing. A cappella music was her daily bread, and harmonies and melodies poured out of her soul. This led her to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Music from Harding University, a school that taught her the finer points of music, while simultaneously sparking in her a rebellious streak. She fell in love, it didn't work out. She fell in love again, it didn't work out. Again and again, followed a boy to Mississippi, and got her heart broken real good time after time. After drifting for a few years, a stroke of luck - Marty Dodson stumbled across a cd of Kaci's songs and called her up to ask her why she wasn't in Nashville. Without an excuse, Dodson dared Kaci to enter the John Lennon Songwriting contest. Her mom loaned her the $30 entry fees, and Kaci submitted four songs. Two songs earned honorable mentions, and two songs were named runner up in the folk and children's categories. Kaci started to catch the vision - a vision of the life like she'd always dreamed of living, but didn't believe was possible.

And so, she moved to Nashville, TN.

Once again, she fell in love. This time with Music Row. Almost immediately she was signed to a publishing deal, and learned that a heart can be broken in more ways than you know - but it can also come back stronger each time it heals. Now with a lifetime's worth of love and disappointment - and a stubborn resilient hope - Kaci is writing songs that resonate, songs that touch the real hearts of real people. With wisdom, grace, and more than a little humor, Kaci sings about life. She sings the words we would speak if we were poets, the songs our souls would sing, if we could only play them.

Kaci Bolls' music is honest, it's intimate, and it's real.

It's the kind of music that matters.

"Kaci Bolls - God touched her. In that place down inside an artist's soul that enables them to deliver a song with honesty, passion, and true beauty. Beyond being a great songwriter, she is hands down one of the finest, most emotive vocalists I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She is truly, a sound to behold." - Brett Beavers

"Kaci Bolls has the heart of a poet and the voice of a superstar." - Bobby Braddock
