kelli frances corrado

An interesting life makes for interesting reading, or in the case of Kelli Frances Corrado, interesting listening. It only makes sense that someone whose been a tap dancer, an army wife, a helper of the homeless, and a music teacher, would record her music with a wish list mix of artists like producer Brian Deck(Iron & Wine), Jeramy Koepping(Voyager One, Grand Hallway), Grant Olson (Arthur & Yu), and other cool folk. Kelli Frances Corrado uses orchestration to create songs, and like her wanderous backround, the music pulls from a nomadic history. A history that includes four years with the band Arkade, working with producer Scott Colburn(Animal Collective, The Arcade Fire). Hopscotching from the past to the current, her music has followed a gypsy map, having been recorded in venues ranging from a warehouse with a six second natural reverb, to a church, a boat house, and a sea plane port and with a band of drop-in musicians whose collective magic becomes the Hocus Pocus Orchestra.
