Bio for Tess Kelly - Board President
My father called me a dreamer when I was about 40 (which didn’t sound so
good at the time) and I’ve called myself a Jack of all trades,
but
what it all comes down to is that I’ve done many things throughout the years
with varying degrees of success. What I love most is my work in the music
world. I endured over 500 hours of Bel Canto training and am blessed with a
soprano voice. Unfortunately, singing doesn’t provide enough money to keep
me comfy so I am at present a local SF realtor. I do perform some and teach
voice to a few willing students which makes life grand! Over the past few
years I’ve discovered a new talent, producing shows for musicians (being a
Jack of all trades has its advantages). I am hopeful that
HOT will be the vehicle that takes me to my next incarnation as a
teacher/producer for young musicians who want to put it all out there and
perform. I am married to a very understanding Gemini who has supported my
endeavors throughout the years with love and support. God Bless Arthur
O’Donnell! And God Bless Tin Pan Alley for walking the walk when it comes to
supporting musicians who want to give back to the community!
