Stacey Kelleher creates an alt-pop atmosphere too rich to forget, plays ONCE 07.10

You can easily get lost within the thick dream-pop atmosphere of Boston’s Stacey Kelleher: the Berklee College of Music graduate has a habit of immersing listeners into her music with sensual layers of acoustic guitars, epic synth swells, and hazy vocal harmonies. Her self-titled debut album last year showcased the singer/songwriter’s ability to take prominent alt-pop elements and blend them with hints of British blues for a mix entirely of her own. Kelleher seems equally comfortable behind an acoustic guitar as she is at the vocal helm of a grand pop music production, the confidence appears to stem from her songwriting which is intimate in nature but passionate in delivery. Stacey Kelleher is bringing that duality to ONCE in Somerville on July 10th, and it should be a great time. We are streaming “All I See” in anticipation below. – Rene Cobar
