“I’m really excited to be opening for a group that mixes country, Southern soul and rock ‘n’ roll the way this group does,” she said. “It’s such a fun sound that touches all genres so the music will appeal to everyone.”

While just a youngster, Kaelynn began singing gospel music in church. As a teenager, she entered a number of singing competitions and won each one, along with numerous beauty pageants. She appeared on Good Morning America when she sang the National Anthem for the opening ceremonies of The Mesquite Rodeo in 2019. She has opened for country artists Stoney LaRue and Trey Lewis as well as headlined her own shows at the Silver Saloon.

She is passionate about the country/rock genre and has written and released three songs – Anymore, Cheers and Letting Go - that are now available on all streaming platforms. Friends follow her performances on www./facebook.com/KaelynnNikole.
