The best kept secret in music
Press
"Kelli Hicks is well versed in the timeless. While her minimalist fingerpicking, gentle voice, and wry lyrics recall the "New Americana" movement, she's not pretending. When you see her play, it becomes clear: this is Kelli Shay Hicks' music. Nothing else." - Chad Olivieri
"Kelli Hicks has a voice to break your heart. Her music is haunting and playful. I'm left quietly devestated." - Davey Rothbart, founder
"A Flannery O'Connor with a guitar." - Jeff Spevak
