Armed with undeniable talent and an intense love of her craft, Kelsey Waldon is a rare and incredibly refreshing artist; an emerging force of raw, honest, and grounded songwriting in the Nashville music scene. Having collected and absorbed more records in her 26 years than most people will hear in a lifetime, this Kentucky native has an exceptional ability to evoke an older and often seemingly forgotten era of songwriting, while simultaneously creating a relevant, cutting edge, and unique style, true to her own experience. Her influences draw heavily on great songwriters and classic country icons alike. Waldon has spent a lifetime with American country and roots music, and remains with many stories to tell. She embraces her upbringing and influences with a whole heart. With almost 4 years in Nashville on her credit, Waldon is on her fifth studio release and full-length debut with “The Goldmine”. For production on “The Goldmine”, Waldon teamed up with Michael Rinne and Anderson East at Farmland Studios. The record includes a backing band of some of the best in the young Nashville music scene. “The Goldmine” features 11 songs of all-original material, and will be released on June 24th, 2014. Kelsey’s music, like her spirit, is both charismatic and infectious, and to hear her is to experience the world through the inspired eyes of a strong young woman; ready to take on the world, and not afraid to stand out.
