Writers Round feat. Carrie Welling, Sara Jean Kelley, Alex Wong & Shanna In A Dress

Carrie Welling

No stranger to change or the exploration that comes with it, Carrie Welling has been navigating life’s twists, turns, demons, and discoveries from a young age. A self-described ‘military brat’, Welling’s struggle to feel rooted in any one place carved a unharmonious path of heartbreak, doubt, and insecurity that defined her 20s and early 30s… a journey that lead to her soul-defining rebirth as an international touring artist with a place to call home in Nashville, TN.

Sara Jean Kelley

A river beneath a river with an edgy sense of humor, Sara Jean Kelley is an explorer, a rescuer, naturalist, and an active member of her creative community. Born and raised by the venerable bluegrass songwriter, Irene Kelley, Sara loves wild plants and animals and music and people and has the scars and stories to prove it. Sara’s songs are conceptual, yet relatable. Her voice is timeless, yet singularly her own. And her delivery can shift, like the weather, from dark and sultry, to light-as-a-feather.

Alex Wong

Alex Wong is a Latin GRAMMY-nominated artist, producer and activist who describes his songwriting as “Second-Generation Americana.” Alex’s music has appeared in films like "The Last Song" and "The Lincoln Lawyer," as well as TV shows "True Blood," "Ray Donovan," and "One Tree Hill." He has performed at Coachella, Stagecoach, Outside Lands, and NPR's Mountain Stage, and has produced records for Delta Rae, Vienna Teng, and Morgxn among others.

Shanna in a Dress

Quirky folk pop from a clever millennial who sucks at dating. Shanna in a Dress started her career at the University of Virginia, biked across the country and fell in love with Colorado where she resided for eight years, and she now keeps the music flowing out of Nashville unless she is touring the US or Europe. You can’t get the same Shanna in a Dress show twice with her spontaneous banter and playful stage presence. She manages to teeter the line masterfully of taking on complex subject matters with smart accessible lyrics. Her songs are laden with clever wordplay and delight audiences of all ages.
