Blurb: Kelsey Fitch is described as being “one of Canada’s most talented female artists”, and that she is  “truly one of the outstanding talents of this generation. Kelsey has a voice that will stay with you long after you hear it, and her ability to write lyrics that lift you up or break your heart, is inspired.”

Kelsey's vocals have earned her the winning title of several vocal competitions, a Top 200 spot on Canadian Idol, and Rising Star and Female Vocalist of the year Nominations at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards. Telemiracle, Casino Regina, Carlton Trail Jamboree, Craven Country Jamboree, and a private showcase at the Canadian Country Music Awards weekend.

With her seductive smoky alto, Kelsey is continuing to captivate audiences, and bring her quirky and classic country charm to her unique version of heartfelt, confident songs which reflect an appealing portrait of this freewheeling, small town country girl.

Working alongside multiple Canadian Country Music Association awards winner, Producer Bart Mckay, Kelsey is due to release her highly anticipated debut EP “Play Nice” on Monday March 23, 2015! The album will feature singles "A Little Taste" and "Crazy", as well as four other self penned singles by Kelsey.

The >> music video for the single (originally published on July 2, 2014 – UK iTunes) was to be distributed to Country Music Channel Australia, FREE TV Australia, Foxtel Australia and other music video channels.

She shares: "Song writing is such a form of therapy for myself, and I wrote for two years, figuring out exactly what I wanted my debut album to sound like. Bart McKay was a dream producer to work with, he believed in my songs right away, gave me the confidence I needed as a songwriter to record them, and brought my vision to life. >> Album teaser >> Promo Video
