Brock,Kelly Rebel Kind CD

Growing up in the suburbs of Vancouver in the 1970's, Kelly remembers being addicted to the sounds that were coming out of her parent's radio and eight-track player. In the car, on the living room stereo and on her bedroom portable am/fm radio, the sounds of the 70's was the soundtrack to her formative years. The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Linda Ronstandt and Fleetwood Mac wove their way into Brock's musical subconscious at a very tender age. Kelly and her three younger sisters would dance around the living room while listening to her Mother's favorite country records, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and Gordon Lightfoot while her Dad loved to crank up the Beatles and any old soulful R&B classics. Fast-forward to the mid-80's when Brock graduated from high-school to join her first band, The Lost Durangos. The group which was also influenced by the 70's and 80's country-rock movement (Gram Parsons, The Byrds, Lone Justice) released their critically acclaimed 12 inch disc, Evil Town and hit the road across Canada, performing at clubs and universities while topping college radio charts. After leaving the Durangos, Brock did a brief stint with new-wave rockers, Innocent 3 which saw them winning CFOX's Seeds competition providing them an opportunity to work with Paul Hyde and Brian Macleod. When Brock decided to go solo over a decade ago, she had no idea that after years of playing in bands, writing songs and singing her heart out night after night that she would still be just as enthusiastic and excited about music today as she was when she was growing up. That enthusiasm has led her to write and create three independent CD's to date along with her fourth disc, Rebel Kind, released this year on Pacific Music/Warner Music Canada. Along with recording her own original material, Brock has also cut her teeth and paid her dues singing cover tunes at nightclubs, casinos and private functions. With three successful indie CD's under her belt, Brock's self-penned and co-written tracks have been heard and seen on Canadian radio/video stations, been featured on many film and television programs and have been included on several compilation soundtracks. Her presence on the internet has also been very strong with her website seeing over five millions hits. Brock latest CD release, Rebel Kind is the disc that she is so far, the most proud of. After many years of performing and making music, she feels that she is finally at the top of her game. Her years of experience have paid off. With help from her co-producer, Craig Zurba, Brock has co-penned ten of the twelve tracks and has enlisted the support of fellow singers, Barney Bentall, Dustin Bentall and Barry Mathers (of The Cruzeros) along with song-writer, Jeff Cohen (co-writer on Big and Rich's 'Holy Water" which went # 1 on both CMT and GAC video charts), who co-write the track, Vegas with Kelly. The 12 tracks are infectious and inspiring and the closing track, "Heartache", written by Lowell George, proves that Brock is a true and gifted artist who deserves all the accolades that she has garnered so far.
