The multi-instrumentalist from Norfolk has recently released Your Way Home, his first collection of original songs, which allow for a brief, yet captivating introduction to a name we’ll be sure not to forget. Keller Williams Realty, Inc., a franchise company, is an Equal Opportunity Employer and supports the Fair Housing Act. Your Way Home’s Mission is to ensure that everyone who lives, works, learns, and invests in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania has equal opportunity to live in an affordable home and a thriving community.
The EP ends here on a relaxed tempo where Sam invites us to explore the often heart-breaking realities of life-long love and the complicated concept of the realm between life and death. At the start of the title track, the simple use of piano and guitar chords allows for Sam’s vocals to take centre stage. Your Way Home makes use of a variety of tempos and dynamics which highlight not only Sam’s creativity but his ability to mirror the emotion of the song through the use of the instrumental backdrop. This track, drawing on Sam’s personal experiences, illustrates the interesting combination of traditional and modern influences that make for a really exciting feel to the EP. For an EP which presents to the listener such a delicate and moving trio of songs, it certainly does shout loudly about rising star Sam Kelly.

His lyrics delve deep into the fascinating world of folk tales and yet he demonstrates an equally mature handling of real life sentiments. Coming from a family largely made up of Norfolk dairy farmers has left Sam with an unmatched experience of singing in front of hurtfully disinterested Friesians, and his meandering musical journey has ranged from reaching the final of ITV's Britain's Got Talent as a teenager, to becoming one of the most prevalent folk singers of his generation. Whether playing to 13 million people on prime-time television, or to 10 people in a tiny pub, Sam's child-like fascination with music shines through, and his passion for discovering and rekindling the sounds of his musical heritage has gained him the respect of peers and audiences worldwide. Despite being only three songs long, this EP has the ability to grab the attention of audiences of all ages and with a range of musical preferences.
Not content with resting on his laurels, Sam enlisted the extraordinary talents of new band members Ciaran Algar and Graham Coe and went straight back into the studio to record his debut album. The album also landed Sam the Horizon Award for emerging artists at the 2016 Radio 2 Folk Awards, and was championed by numerous legends of folk broadcasting, including Mike Harding - who played tracks from the album for four weeks in a row on his online radio podcast. Sam's debut EP - entitled 'Your Way Home' was released in March 2013, which swiftly created a buzz of interest in the folk scene for Sam's music. This cemented Sam's place further as one of the most exciting young prospects in the folk scene - landing him a nomination in the Best Singer category at the 2015 Spiral Earth Awards, and grabbing the attention of BBC Radio 2's Folk Show. Touring as a trio with Jamie Francis and Evan Carson , Sam gained a reputation for an incredibly high class and dynamic live show, and the guys are rapidly became firm favourites at venues and festivals in all parts of the country.

After a barnstorming performance to a completely rammed Club Tent at Cambridge Folk Festival 2015, the guys were invited to play their first session on Radio 2 live from the festival. In 2017 Sam signed a publishing deal with Wipe Out Music, an agency deal with Strada Music and a record deal with legendary folk label Navigator Records, and in a very exciting year saw his music appear on a wide variety of mediums from Channel 4 Soap Hollyoaks to Sky Sports darts coverage, Sky Arts to Cafe Nero. After a full summer of headline festival slots with his band, he released his second album, and The Lost Boys first album - Pretty Peggy in November 2017. Sam’s vocal performance is flawless and his engaging lyrics allow true emotion, strength and energy to be injected into the EP. Each track is heavily influenced by traditional folk music but along with the fresh-face of Sam comes a fresh outlook on the musical genre in hand, with definite hints of more popular styles creeping in. Sam is clearly a talented musician with a real passion for writing his own songs and creating gorgeous arrangements to suit.
