biographical info

Shred Kelly is a formulation of friends and foot stompin' good times born in the East Kootenay's of British Columbia. Hailing from the town of Fernie, the six-piece band is best known for mixing clawhammer banjo riffs that tear the fabric of space and time with a ghostly mandolin, high voltage guitars, fierce drums, and hauntingly sweet harmonies to produce a sound that has been properly coined "Stoke Folk". Singing songs about powder days, tornado destruction, and a sincere distaste for work, these ski bums, are consistently turning doubters into sweaty folk rock believers on the dance floor.

Dear Friends,

We'd be pretty stoked to be on a rock n' roll train through mountains, city, prairies and, shield.  If voted in, we solemnly swear to rock that train as hard as humanly possible.  We even made a video to show you how much we want to go.

Enjoy!
