Corona, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Inland Empire Music) - The Corona based Kelly Bowlin Band will be performing with country star and American Idol finalist Bucky Covington, May 29th at the Belly-Up Tavern in Solano Beach. In a show that might be described as Country Pop meets Country Ugly, the Kelly Bowlin Band will bring a raw and gritty Americana Roots Rock Style that will contrast sharply with the Nashville mainstream appeal of Bucky Covington. The band maintains a large regional following in Southern California and has been together for four years. They have released two highly acclaimed studio albums and one live album and will performing songs off of their soon to be released CD entitled The Fortune Teller.
The Band was voted Best Classic Rock Band at both the 2006 Southern California Music Awards and The Inland Empire Music Awards but lead singer Kelly Bowlin was quick to distance the band from being labeled Classic Rock, "I think the reason we were nominated at both shows for Classic Rock is that they didn't have a category for Roots Rock or Americana, or maybe it's just the fact that we're all over 40 which automatically makes us Classic Rock," he said. Whatever label is used to describe the band, they've been the recipient of strong reviews from critics throughout Southern California including OC Register columnist Robert Kinsler who described them as "One of his favorite acts making music in Southern California today," and John Roos writing for OC Weekly who labeled the music "A richly textured mix of folk, rock, country, and bluegrass."
