Kelley Mooney
Biography
Kelley Mooney hails from Iona, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Her career began in the Mooney kitchen where Kelley’s Dad would pay her a quarter a song for anyone who happened to drop by.
The winner of the 2012 Music PEI Country Recording of the Year award, Kelley’s album, “Tomorrow” is a perfect blend of country, soul and gospel and includes her Easter version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”. To date, it has been viewed over 11 million times collectively on YouTube and GodTube and debuted at No. 3 and No. 12 on two separate Billboard Magazine Charts.
Her release “Still” is an inspirational album that is a result of a serious illness Kelley faced and came through in 2013. It includes powerful standards as How Great Thou Art and I Surrender All as well as some very personal originals. “Still is one touching and personal collection of songs from an exceptional vocalist. Kelley is such a strong singer that she even injects new life into such classics as Put Your Hand In The Hand and O Happy Day. My Soul To Keep IS certainly a keeper… a stunning self-penned song about appreciating those that matter the most.” – Paul Kennedy,
Her powerful highs and soulful lows resonate ~ she’s been compared to Joan Baez, Eva Cassidy, and Sarah MacLauchlan and that suits Kelley just fine.
