About
Jazz vocalist Frankye Kelly is a terrific singer who always draws plenty of fans wherever she goes. Come see her live with FSC's Sunday Afternoon Jazz regulars, the Bryan Girard Quartet!
Frankye Kelly freely speaks of the people who have influenced her career. Cousin Albert Collins, whose talent earned him the title of "Master of the Telecaster," taught her to remain humble, as well as to respect her audience whether it numbers one or 10,001. Buddy Connor, who she terms her mentor, was there in her corner in the beginning, providing help when it was not forthcoming from any other source. And Kelly's singing style often gives testament to the influence of Sarah Vaughan...
