KEVIN KELLY – Actor. Playwright. Director. Show Host. The Storytelling Troubadour
LA’s Great Mystery of ‘Where the Hell is Kevin Kelly?’ has been solved.
After three years of being MIA, the tortured soul once deemed as “the Chronicler of LA’s Soft White Underbelly” re-emerges in a surprise public appearance. Adding to the confusion is that it’s on the East Coast, in the pleasant NYS ‘burgh of Saratoga. What gives? All bets are off.
From CBGB’s to Whisky A Go Go and in the lonely cafe’s, dive bars, and clubs across America, there was Kelly, furiously strumming his acoustic guitar, stomping stages until the place shakes in hypnotic glory. Then it all stopped. Now he’s back. We hope.
A Kevin Kelly show cannot be forgotten. It’s not necessarily pretty, nor is it necessarily musically perfect. Think Tom Waits meets Lou Reed meets Nebraska-era Springsteen.
Kelly paints a vivid picture of truth, both his and ours. And he does it in his own inimitable way. Kevin Kelly is the traveling musical poet troubadour we’ve been seeking all these years.

KEANEN STARK & ORION KRIBS
FOOTHILLS. NY
ADIRONDACK-GRASS
This Adirondack duo brings a blend of modern yet classically old-timey sounds to the Fest
Keanen Stark (guitar, harmonica, banjo) “is becoming a master of the old-time folk styles of Woody Guthrie. A folk singer in the truest sense, with a knack for cross-harp, his stripped down minimalist take on traditional folk music is sure to please.”
Orion Kribs (mandolin, guitar) “is a world class mandolin player capable of breakneck speed and nuanced solo work. Orion has also played in the Celtic bluegrass band The McKrells, among others, and is an endorsee of Godin-Seagull guitars.”
Each a capable lead vocalist, Stark and Kribs swap old-timey folk, blues, bluegrass, and classic americana tunes, and dabble at entertaining endless other influences and flights of fancy.
“Keanen Stark and Orion Kribs are two of the finest young blues and bluegrass musicians in the capital region, with a throwback sound, charming stage dynamics, and lightning fast licks.”
