The Brad Kelsey Band is a blues band with an edge: pushing all the boundaries, but staying true to their roots. Brad has loved Blues music from an early age, influenced by the greats like: BB King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton. He picked up his first guitar at age 10 and never looked back. Now Brad is joined by Kent Snyder on bass, Brandon Ford on drums, John McCorkle on keys, and Steve Lunn on tenor sax and rhythm guitar. The band’s style mixes their blues roots with a rock n’ roll edge that makes the music cutting edge yet classic at the same time.
Brad’s goal is to keep blues music alive by introducing, and making it relevant to a younger audience, while still entertaining fans who have loved the blues for years. Over the past 8 years the band has entertained audiences throughout the northern Indiana area and has shared the stage with artists such as: Joe Bonamassa, The great Blues Harp Master James Cotton, Carl Weathersby, Mississippi Heat, Root Doctor, Stacy Mitchhart, Bart Walker, and more.
Brad has enjoyed international sales of his first album “Just a Step Away,” and has currently composed most of the music for his follow up record.
