Josh Kelley is new to the country format, but not to making music and performing. His first single with MCA Nashville, "Georgia Clay" is # 36 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart and # 38 on the Billboard chart, and just last night, he began his first leg on Miranda Lambert's tour in New York City. His love of performing started with his mother, and his first set of drums: "My Mom was like a majorette in college and high school.
