Meet Danielle
Transplanted from the small island town of Sitka, Alaska, Danielle Kelly has found herself a part of the musical heartbeat of Southern Oregon. After receiving a BFA in Acting at Southern Oregon University, she mitigated her academic burn out by enthusiastically throwing herself into the fine dining industry in Ashland. Topping off wine glasses for playgoers attending the Oregon Shakespeare Festival inspired conversations of art and live music and eventually reignited Danielle's desire to perform herself. A local jazz group enlisted her as their vocalist in 2010, beginning her live performance career in the Rogue Valley. Guest vocalist quickly turned into band leader of her own “Danielle Kelly Jazz Project,” shortly followed by the “Danielle Kelly Soul Project.”
Danielle Kelly and her bands are available for bookings at all types of events including festivals, wineries, weddings, night clubs, resorts, and more.
You can catch her live on Jefferson Public Radio hosting Open Air, an eclectic music show daily 12:00-3:00pm PST Monday through Friday.

The Jazz Project
Est. 2010
Vocal Jazz is the genre Danielle was trained in through high school, the first vehicle she used as a live performer, and a music she fell in love with. With the “Jazz Project” she sings selections from The Great American Songbook, songs made famous by her idols like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Peggy Lee, etc. Usually accompanied by guitar, sometimes piano, upright bass… this group is an always changing recipe, because … it’s Jazz baby!

DKSP Originals
Danielle Kelly Soul Project put our heads together to write these energizing grooves & uplifting messages to get you in the dancing mood. The tunes were worked out live on grass lawns and stages all through 2019 and the beginning of 2020 - until Covid put the party on pause. So we took our tunes to the studio so we could share them with in your homes and cars until we can meet again on the dance floor! Thank you for your inspiration, love & support.
