Biography

Since 1987 Kelly Carmichael has played guitar in internationally known hard rock bands Internal Void and Pentagram (USA). Beneath Kelly's electric guitar sound lies roots of blues, in fact all the way back to the early Delta & Country Blues.

Kelly began performing solo in 2002, playing fingerstyle acoustic guitar in the traditions of Bill Broonzy, John Hurt and Robert Johnson.

In 2005 Kelly released his debut album Old Stock on Dogstreet Records. Old Stock features Kelly on both vocals/guitar ranging from Delta, Country Blues, and Piedmont to old time Spirituals. Accompanying Kelly on Old Stock are exceptional Fiddle, Mandolin, and Harmonica performances which gives each song a fresh feel and direction.

Touring extensively with Clutch in the Spring and Fall of 2005, Kelly covered the Mid-West, North East and the deep South areas of the US. and received a great response throughout each tour.

The follow up to Old Stock is now in progress and is scheduled to be released in Fall of 2006, not only will it include more authentic roots blues, but will delve further into Kelly's original compositions.
