Kellee Webb is a songwriter whose music coolly sways to the
right and left of her folk artist ideals, from country and
bluegrass to straight-up blues riffs. She mixes a voice that
is thick and sweet like home-spun honey with solid guitar work
that is quick to change what you thought you knew about folk
music and its many branches.
Kellee has been a life-long musician, beginning with her
introduction to the piano at 5 years of age. Around the same
time, she started singing a wide range of songs with her
parents in the WebbÆs Baltimore home. They instilled a deep
appreciation for music within their daughter from early on;
Kellee was introduced to blues, rock, country, jazz, reggae,
rap, folk, world music, and funk before she was 10 years old.
At 12, she took after her father (who has jammed alongside
Buckwheat Zydeco) and picked up the guitar for the first time.
After two years, Kellee started learning the bass guitar and
joined her first band two weeks later. By 15, she had stopped
playing piano to focus her full attention on guitar and bass,
sang regularly and lived in Tennessee. Living in the South, it
didnÆt take long for Kellee to find strong country influences
for her music, which are obvious in many of her tunes today.
While attending high school, she took two semesters of private
bluegrass guitar lessons with Jack Tottle at Eastern Tennessee
State University and played guitar in one of ETSUs bluegrass
bands. In fact, Kellee appears in an article about the bands
in Bluegrass Unlimited.
Throughout high school, Kellee played bass with a variety of
rock bands and considered studying music in college. After a
high school trip to colleges in New England, she decided that
Berklee College of Music in Boston was where she should be. At
17, Kellee entered Berklee to study bass guitar. During her
four years in college, she was able to study bass with funk
bassist Anthony Vitti and took a stage performance course
taught by Livingston Taylor. Outside of the classroom, Kellee
played for many studio projects and local bands
