Josh Kelley To Release First New Music in Five Years

After nearly five years, singer Josh Kelley is ready to release new music.

The multi-instrumentalist has been actively writing and recording music in his own studio, built in a barn near the Utah home that he shares with his actress wife, Katherine Heigl, and their two children.

“I’m in the studio every day,” he notes. “Being the producer, the engineer and the artist can get lonely sometimes, but it’s very empowering and very satisfying creatively.  For me, there’s no better drug than spending the morning writing a song, spending the afternoon recording and producing it, and then making a copy and listening to it in the car on the way home.  It’s so much fun having that instant gratification, of creating something from scratch.”

In preparation for his new music, Kelley has also signed a recording contract with Rounder Label Group. “Josh Kelley is a tremendous singer songwriter,” shared Rounder Label Group’s COO, Cliff O’Sullivan. “As a label that prides itself in having an eclectic music roster, Sugar Hill is a perfect home for an artist like Josh whose career lives in several genres. We’re thrilled to welcome Josh to the Rounder Label Group family.”

Kelley will also join his brother, Lady Antebellum front man Charles Kelley, as the opener on Charles’ The Driver Tour.
