“[Kelly&Ellis] are fun, beautiful, heartbreaking and so much more wrapped up into a collision of genres (classic rock, Celtic, New Orleans R&B, contemporary pop, Broadway) from their careers. The Long Road to You is about their journey to find each other, to find their place; for the listeners, we finally found them.” - Brenda Hillegas, Elmore Magazine

“'Memory,' Ellis’ breakout number from her Broadway days, gets an Americana makeover with coiling guitars that merge front porch picking with delicate arpeggios" Pat Moran, Acoustic Guitar Magazine

We included this song because it’s part of Leslie’s story. She performed the role of Grizabella in CATS the Broadway Musical for several years, back in her “Broadway Days”. We knew we had to change this arrangement and do something special to make it our own so we explored the 60s R&B idea and we love how it came out.

“The Long Road to You wraps Kelly&Ellis’ journey - a tuneful autobiography, a slice of music history and a vision of their future - in lush, guitar-rich arrangements. We’re lucky to go along for the ride.” - Acoustic Guitar Magazine

The Long Road to You is the Chart Topping debut full length CD by two rather accomplished musicians. Leslie Ellis performed lead roles on Broadway including Grizabella in “CATS” and won a Grammy® with Celine Dion for “My Heart Will Go On”. Casey Kelly began his career in the legendary “Greek Fountains” of Baton Rouge opening for major artists at arenas and stadiums. He then began writing hits at 1650 Broadway and the Brill Building, working among the likes of Carole King. He nearly joined Three Dog Night, toured with Tom Rush and The Beach Boys, and wrote #1 hits “Anyone Who Isn’t Me Tonight”, “Somewhere Down the Line”, “Only Game in Town” (recorded by America/produced by George Martin”) “The Cowboy Rides Away” – a signature hit for George Strait –  among many others, and scored a brace of Grammy® nominations. 

The Long Road to You captures a sound born of two hearts, honed over years of performing together, and full of all the pain, humor, relief, disappointment, strength and gratitude that comes from fully giving oneself over to one’s art.

They have been touring across Europe and the US since 2005, to sell out crowds.
