Kelsey Blackstone Band

The Kelsey Blackstone Band is a group of musicians and friends from Boston, MA. They’re largely inspired by older styles like The Eagles and The Rolling Stones, mixed with the contemporary pop sounds akin to Lawrence or the Sammy Rae and the Friends. Their songs are high energy and full of jammy arrangements that get their audiences grooving along and having fun. Kelsey provides a killer vocal with a sassy persona that sits on top of a band that is as free as it is tight, with all the members being able to show off their instrumental prowess in a way that makes the music sound greater than the sum of its parts.
