Texas music fans know and love Kristen Kelly. On April 27, 2011 you can say "her boat finally came in." All those years of persistence and playing the Texas Honky-Tonks got her in front of the right people, with some hard work and great lyrics to her original songs she managed to wrangle a Nashville record deal with the Nipper dog, RCA/Sony. Here's one of the songs that I'm sure caught the ears of those power brokers in Nashville.

Kristen Kelly will be working with some of Nashville's hottest and most sought after singers, songwriters and producers. So I guess, as the old adage goes "good things come to good girls who wait."  I wish her the best of luck and we're looking forward to hearing her music on the "nationally syndicated" countdown shows.
