Kaeley is an Americana/Folk singer-songwriter based in Portland, Oregon. Her music has been described as “Uplifting music from the soul for the spirit”. It is music that is infused with a deep connection to the natural world. Kaeley is inspired by a love of nature and a belief that nature can be a connection and inspiration for us all. In 2016 Kaeley released her debut album “Paradise,” produced by longtime friend Scott Fisher (accomplished recording artist and LA producer) The album takes the listener on a melodic journey that stays true to the spirit and deep feeling of the songs. Kaeley’s gentle, resonante voice and acoustic guitar is complemented by talented Portland artists making it an album of amazing musicianship
and heart. Kaeley has recently been working on a follow up album with local producer Rob Stroup which will come out in 2018.
Kaeley has been singing since before she could talk. As a small child she can remember singing bedtime lullabies with her mother and countless hours spent singing in the car with her family making harmonies with her sisters. She surrounded herself with every type of music possible from folk music, to classical, to rock. She started playing the flute at one point but stopped because she couldn’t stand not being able to sing along. Her roots in songwriting as she remembers it, started when she was nine years old and temporarily living in Ireland. She lived with her family on a cliff 
above the sea and can remember making up her own songs and singing them out on the wind to the ocean waves below. Upon returning to her hometown of Portland, OR, she joined every choir and singing group she could through her high school and then college. It was not until after college that she attended a songwriting workshop where she formally began writing songs to share with others and was lost to that process. It was so satisfying to combine her own melodies to her own thoughts as one song led to the next.
Kaeley’s music is inspired by many of the folk/country icons such as Emmy Lou Harris and Nancy Griffith and also by artists such as Brandi Carlile, Gillian Welch and the Wailin’ Jennys. Kaeley now resides in Portland, OR with her husband and three daughters. She is a teacher with Music Together of Portland, a program whose mission
is to help young children and their caregivers discover their musicality. She relishes the work of developing a musical foundation for children that can be carried throughout their lives. Over the past few years Kaeley has turned her attention to her own music and enjoys the process of sharing her songs with audiences. Kaeley says “I write what feels good to sing and expresses feeling for me. I hope my songs elicit emotion for you and make you want to sing along with me”.
