Kellen really isn’t a huge fan of self-congratulations. He doesn’t really want to talk too much about who’s he’s played with (although there’s a pretty lengthy list of names you may know, including Mumford and Sons, Gill Landry, Jenny Lewis and Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show just to name a few), or the accolades he’s garnered.
But he is a big fan of adventure, connection to his audience, and living for the now instead of dwelling in the past. His lush, diverse catalogue of songs invokes influences of Neil Young, The Beatles, and Simon & Garfunkel- making his music every bit as timeless.
"Well-crafted folk-rock with a pop-ish sheen… built on the classics, like the Beatles but with a surfy gloss.” - Marissa R. Moss, The Bluegrass Situation
"Strong and forceful on guitar, with powerful vocals to match, Kellen...showed that his tunes are radio ready, hitting that sweet spot of country western influenced folk rock.” - Jacob Ryan, No Country for New Nashville
"Influences (include) Neil Young, John Prine, and saloon pianos in western movies.” - Brittney McKenna, American Songwriter
