We are pleased to premiere the video “I’m Gone” by the Kelly Bell Band from their acclaimed album, Know My Name, released April 2019.
With a combination of electrified blues, rock and funk, this is no ordinary blues band. Their album, Know My Name is the band’s 13th release.
The Kelly Bell Band is a multi award-winning American hard drivin’ blues band and their video “Long Train,” which Rock and Blues Muse premiered, has been viewed over 200K on YouTube, IndiMusicTV, and Facebook.
““I’m Gone” is a testament to everyone who plays the lottery weekly,” states Kelly Bell, lead vocalist for the band. “It’s for those who choose to follow the teachings of our parents who used the bird in a hand analogy. It’s mostly for the one person who dreams of the day they can quit their job in fine fashion and without regard to fears of failure. ‘I’m Gone’ is for those who dare!!”
The track, ‘I’m Gone,’ delivers on a variety of levels. The band have a reputation of injecting humor into their performances and have taken it to greater heights in their latest video. The band paints a picture of losing various jobs, only to discover that at the root of it, they are a very serious blues band with the musical chops to back it up.
Originally formed as the backup band for Bo Diddley, the Kelly Bell Band has been touring the world ever since. They have become a fixture of the mid-Atlantic music scene, racking up awards, including two Maryland Music Awards, including “Best Blues Band” and “Best Funk Band.” They have been voted “Best Blues Band” in the Mid-Atlantic Region for 12 years in a row and recently were named “Best Band” by Baltimore Style Magazine.
