“One guitar, one voice, a thousand stories.”

Kelly Shirey is a Washington-based singer-songwriter known for his warm vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and the kind of acoustic performances that make any room feel like home. Whether he’s playing a winery, brewery, festival stage, or intimate listening room, Kelly’s solo shows blend sincerity, humor, and a crowd-reading instinct honed from years on the road.

Drawing on influences like Zach Bryan, The Avett Brothers, and classic Americana, Kelly’s style is rooted in honest lyrics, melodic hooks, and a deep connection with his audience. His performances move easily between reflective originals, reimagined covers, and spontaneous moments tailored to the people in front of him.

In addition to his solo work, Kelly is one half of Flowers for Wolves, the harmony-rich acoustic duo he formed with Meghan Parris. Their partnership showcases a different dimension of his music — lush harmonies, textured arrangements, and a shared artistic chemistry — but Kelly’s solo shows maintain the same authenticity and emotional pulse that define the duo’s sound.

With over two decades of performing under his belt, Kelly has earned a loyal following across the Pacific Northwest. His audiences return not just for the music, but for the atmosphere he creates: genuine, inviting, and full of heart.

Whether he’s on stage alone or with Flowers for Wolves, Kelly brings songs that resonate long after the last note fades.
