Declan Kelly is an intuitive music maker who sings, plays drums and composes delicate songs that show influence in his new Album "Adrift" with Polynesian melodies, Irish Folk and the traditions of Reggae and also the bitter sweet strains of Africian American soul.
Winner of the Blues and Roots Act at the 2008 Music Oz Awards, Declan's New album Adrift - a pure offering in the roots reggae genre - just released by Vitamin Records April 6, 2009. Showing subtle tinges of the influence of Afro beat, Kelly’s 11-track album spotlights Declan Kelly’s earthed and urbane approach to song writing as he speaks about love, peace, relationships and death.
