With a very diverse catalog of music, her highly acclaimed show, "Swingin' the Blues" carries the audience down a musical highway of Blues, Jazz & Swing from New Orleans to New York City, Chicago to Kansas City, Memphis to Texas demonstrating the evolution of Blues to Jazz and Jazz to "Swing". The musical showcases her award winning songwriting talents as well as her chart topping CD's, "Swing 'n Blues," "Softer Side of Swing" & "Blues to Me!"

"Softer Side of Swing" - crosses boundaries due to Kelli's music education and love of all kinds of music, the CD has received high praises from music lovers in a variety of genres'. Produced by Mickey Moody, formerly of ABC-DOT records, Mickey has received numerous awards having engineered 17 albums for Freddy Fender. "An enjoyable product to work on as well as listen to. Kelli does a magnificent job," Mickey states. The lead singles or, push songs from the CD are; “PRETEND” and “IF YOU WERE THE ONE.” Kelli has been recognized more than once for her songwriting talents. “If You Were the One,” is a riveting and passionate original that Kelli's raw, and somewhat erotic vocals arouse the deepest emotions of ones heart and soul. A storyline about the one true love everyone dreams about til the morning sun blocks out the night. A torch ballad that captures the attention of everyone in the music industry.

Having received an "Honorable Mention" from Billboard for her R&B original, "The Way Love Use to Be". Kelli has been consistently recognized in the "blues". With her credentials in R&B and blues growing, this award winning songwriter began writing and focusing on the diverse styles and formats of the blues.

The “Blues to Me!“ CD is one of the most comprehensive collections demonstration the diverse styles and formats of "Blues": Jump blues, Swing blues, Western Swing blues, Country blues, Rhythm&Blues, and her own low down dirty nasty SOUNDING pure blues. Her patriotic hit,
"Stand Up for the U.S.A.“ was written several years before the obscene act of September 11th, 2001, as a gift for her father who had served in the Navy aboard the USS Core. Kelli felt it was only natural to include it on the CD, considering Setptember 11th, to be one of the “bluest” days in America’s history, It is respectfully placed at #11 to honor the victims and families of September 11, 2001 …we will always remember.
…proclaimed the unofficial anthem of the 21st Century by Mike Gross, WVOF, Connecticut.
