When Alan Jackson's tour bus pulls in to Binghamton's Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena Hawktober 18th, he'll be bringing with him a new face.  Kristen Kelly has a big buzz from fans and songwriters alike in Music City.  Kristen is known to be candid and down to earth.  When she describes her music, she says it's "a little more grease than polish."  When you hear Kristen sing, you can't help but hear her country, blues and classic rock influences.  Kristen is "real" and when you see her open for Alan Jackson Hawktober 18th, we're all in for a "real" treat.

Look for Kristen's forthcoming debut album, produced by Tony Brown and singer/songwriter Paul Overstreet.  In the meantime, check out her hot new song: "Ex-Old Man."
