Having met in Kansas City back in 2023 Blair and Mia found an instant connection through their songwriting.  This led to them co-writing Mia’s single release – Meaning Well (June 2024).  Blair has now invited Mia as special guest for five intimate shows in the UK for February 2025.  Mia returns the favour as they tour Canada (Eastern) in March 2025.

Mia  Kelly 

Mia Kelly, a singer-songwriter from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, captivates audiences with her lush folk and earthy Americana sound.  Her sophomore record establishes her as a spellbinding voice, blurring the lines between intimate memoir and compelling, semi-fictional narratives.

Highlighted by Americana UK as “One to watch out for”, Kelly’s forthcoming album, To Be Clear, has garnered praise by Blues Matters Magazine, which describes her work as “Folk, and a dipped toe into the Blues pond – a brilliant combination.”

Awarded Young Performer of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Mia Kelly has performed at festivals across Canada and has toured the UK with Australian Duo “Charm of Finches”.  Performing in both French and English, Kelly enthrals listeners with a distinctive blend of Folk, Rock, and Blues and is making her mark in the folk music scene.
