Kelly Carmichael

Mark Your Calendars - My new record Kelly Carmichael is slated to be released January 8th, 2027 on Dogstreet Records. Aside from streaming, it will be available on LP and CD formats.

Queen Fareena (2009) and Old Stock (2005) are coming to streaming soon, including a remixed deluxe edition of Old Stock with previously unreleased tracks! Singles first, full albums to follow. Keep your ears open.

The Cover Art is Officially Finished. Huge thanks to Bailey Toksöz for the incredible cover photo. With the artwork wrapped and release approaching, I'll be sharing more details soon along with some upcoming merch and other newsworthy info.

With the record mixed and mastered, I wanted to share some details about my new self-titled album, Kelly Carmichael. Just before landing here in TX, drummer Jesse Shultzaberger and I laid the groundwork for this record, and joining that rhythm section is Randy Ball on electric bass. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for having these two cats on the record.

Unlike my past acoustic blues records, this one is fully plugged in. The music still draws on my country blues, Delta blues and Americana roots, but it leans hard into rock, a sound that’s been described as ‘Delta Rock.’ The record also features some fabulous guest musicians. I’m super excited to get this record out and into y’all’s ears!

This week is another milestone: my new self-titled record is mastered! It’s a been a real pleasure working with Alan Douches at West West Side Music on mastering the new album. My Queen Fareena record was also mastered at WWSM, so I knew I was in good hands. More details to follow regarding release info.

With mixing complete, today really feels like a landmark. Huge thanks to Casey Johns, my mixing engineer at Yellow Dog Studio in San Marcos, TX. It was certainly a team effort — I couldn't have mixed this one on my own, and it's sounding better than I had hoped for.
