STEPHEN KELLOGG IN CONCERT:
For the past two decades Americana singer-songwriter Stephen Kellogg has been warming hearts with his genuine lyrics, gentle guitar strumming, and inspiring live performances. Kellogg’s uplifting music is a reflection of his charitable spirit – he’s performed for American troops overseas, and every year he donates proceeds from his music to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. This same compassionate generosity permeates his live concerts, and the communal atmosphere he creates when he performs makes emotional songs like “Thanksgiving” and “Satisfied Man” all the more powerful. Paste Magazine called his 2016 album South, West, North, East “a triumph”, and ticket buyers lucky enough to experience the new material in concert will undoubtedly be moved by Kellogg’s infectious warmth and positivity.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Pennsylvania-born Stephen Kellogg began performing as a singer-songwriter in the mid-‘90s after interning at a music venue in Northampton, MA. He released several albums in the late ‘90s but really hit his stride in 2003 when he formed Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers. Over the better part of the next decade Kellogg and the Sixers became an Americana mainstay, releasing five albums and playing more than 1000 shows before disbanding in 2012. Since then Kellogg has continued to record and perform both solo and with former members of the Sixers. In 2013 he released the album Blunderstone Rookery, and later that year he gave a TED Talk on the subject of job satisfaction. For his 2016 album South, West, North, East Kellogg recorded each section of the album with producers and musicians from different regions of the US, and the result was a wildly diverse collection that showcased the many facets of his considerable songwriting talents.
