Hey friends!

Well it’s been a while since I’ve updated, and a lot has happened. I’m booking wedding ceremonies, parties/receptions for my jazz trio and shows for the Louise Kelly Band. Looking ahead to the 3rd Annual Team Fox (Michael J. Fox, that is) Garden Walk in Naperville on June 28th, 2009. Join us!

Finishing touches. That’s what this summer is about. I’M ALMOST DONE WITH SCHOOL! Also, I’m completing a CD of my original songs with my friend and bass player, Michael Krieglstein. When will the CD release be? Hoping for fall of 2009. Give me a shout out it you want to buy one. Or else I will try on you some of the slimey sales techniques I learned when I sold cars.

I’ve enjoyed my time at North Central College and am glad to move on into fulltime music teaching. And more time for songwriting and gigging. But especially more time with Bella and Noelle?

Hi Friends-

I’m back in the Chicagoland area, back to my roots. That seems like big news, but even bigger still is this one: Bella became a big sister! On December 14^th, 2006, Noelle was born! We are still adjusting to many changes in our lives; thankful for the grace of God in all these things…

In getting back to my roots, I’m also rediscovering classical piano. I’m building a great repertoire for wedding ceremonies, so I’ll be really excited to build up those kinds of gigs in and around town. 

I recently re-recorded “Turn Away,” a song people seem to like a lot. Check out my songwriting page to listen to it. I’ll be interested in getting feedback from you to see which one you like better, the old recording or the new. Please write me! 

Thanks to Anthony Enns for recording the new “Turn Away” for me in between theological discussions and time in the pool :) Thanks also to Christine Enns, and all my California friends who’ve helped me get through a very challenging 2006. And while I’m at it, I’m so thankful for my family- my parents, brothers and sisters, for being incredibly supportive of me, my kids and my music. And while I’m at it, I love seeing you lots again, Illinois friends!

Hi Friends-

Come on out to Worship Fest 2006- Saturday, October 7th at Mann Biomedical Park. The Festival will rock from 3 PM- 6PM- I'll be playing a brief set at about 4:15 PM. Join us for some of the valley's best praise and worship- proceeds go to the SCV Crisis Pregnancy Center and Trinity Classical Academy. Mann Biomedical Park: 25129 Rye Canyon Loop, Valencia.

Also, check out my media page for my new song, "Glory." I just recorded it a couple of weeks ago- Let me know what you think!

On other news:
Leading worship at First Baptist Church in Westchester has been excellent. You can really find the love of God and His People in this church. And here's an added bonus: church doesn't start til 11AM on Sunday! Praise the Lord! Join us at FBC in Westchester (right by LAX) 8540 La Tijera Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90045. (310) 645-5755

This summer flew by! I was honored to perform at the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, both in Santa Clarita and North Hollywood. I got to play during the luminaria ceremony- looking out on a sea of candle flames against the night sky, knowing each candle represented a life with cancer- that was pretty sobering, and awe-inpiring…

May God bless you and keep you.

Louise

Hi there friends!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope you've been blessed by the Presence of the Lord this holiday season.

The Lord is doing new things, and we're praising Him for it! Jesus says "Behold, I am making all things new!" (Rev. 21:5) The Lord has provided for us a new website. Please check it out- www.louisekelly.com. Additionally, Dave and I have been recording new songs and I'm eager to play them for you.

We'd like to praise His Name in new places. If you know of an event or church that is looking for some original Christian music, then we need your help! Please refer people to my website or send me an email, louisekellymusic@sbcglobal.net. We'd appreciate your help, in any way the Lord leads you.

Hoping your New Year is filled with a new and living hope.

-Louise Kelly
