Late Bloomers, Kelly's Lot, was formed by Kelly Zirbes, a folk singer/songwriter with a heart for the blues. They are known for lifting up their audiences with an energetic connection created by the music and the lyrics. The band celebrates three decades since their first performance at the Roxy in Hollywood. They have released multiple CDs while touring the USA and Europe. They like to call themselves late bloomers because they are touring longer and stronger since guitarist Perry retired from doing post production for movies. Kelly Z met Texas guitar player and sound man, Perry Robertson in 1996, who soon after produced ‘Kelly’s Lot - Live at the Troubadour’. Within a year he joined the band, started writing songs with Kelly Z, and added the Southern Roots and Texas Blues influences that have helped shape the Kelly's Lot sound. Perry has recorded and produced all of the band’s music including studio and live albums, acoustic and electric. They have played numerous USA festivals including Waterfront Blues, BeachLife Ranch, and Luckenbach Blues Festivals, and European festivals like Switzerland’s Caslano Blues, France’s Nuits de Sologne, Ireland’s Howth Roots and Blues and Croatia’s Jerry Rick’s Blues Festivals. This year they have toured through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada and as always lots of gigs in their hometown region of Southern California. In August they are headed to Northern California, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, and Montana, plus they have a new album in the works showcasing more of their original Blues and Roots/Rock. Some would say they have been blooming now for 32 years, but they like to say they are just getting started and can’t wait to bring their music to Feast World Kitchen Monday at ZOLA
