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!
