HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) – Court Square Theater is hosting an exciting evening of bluegrass Saturday, June 14, when Women of Kelley takes the stage.

Part of the theater’s popular Bluegrass Series, the concert begins at 7:30 pm. Tickets (including fees) are $25 in advance, $35 at the door. Advance tickets are now available online at courtsquaretheater.org.

Veteran bluegrass singer, songwriter, and chart topper Irene Kelley has teamed up with her two daughters, Justyna and Sara Jean, for a blend of heritage-driven storytelling and contemporary Bluegrass innovation.

For Irene, Women of Kelley closes a career circle, which started with the songwriter moving to Nashville and signing with MCA in 1984, insisting on using bluegrass artists such as Sam Bush, Carl Jackson, and Mark O’Connor as a backing band. This was to be a country album, at a time when a return to traditional country and acoustic instruments was bringing hits to Ricky Skaggs and others. She ultimately stepped away to care for her two then young daughters, while continuing to write songs that were recorded by the likes of Alan Jackson, Little Big Town, and Loretta Lynn. With Justyna and Sara Jean now young adults, as well as accomplished performers and writers, it seemed a perfect time for Women of Kelley.
