CHARLOTTE MORRIS
Singer/Songwriter Charlotte Morris joins The Kelly Center for a night of acoustic music as a part of her 2024 Wild Child tour. Released in September 2023, Wild Child, Charlotte's 2nd studio album, is an amalgamation of her most vulnerable moments and deeply personal stories. From living with anxiety to dating as a child of divorce and everything in between, Morris found ways to persevere and build new beginnings. With this project, she paints the ups and downs of life. Spun from her classic Folk/Roots foundation and burnished with the drive of modern Americana, Charlotte's music embodies the storytelling of theatre as she lays it all on the line.

ADRIAN HICKMAN TRIBUTE -
5 YEAR MEMORIAL
Adrian Hickman joined Kelly Music for Life shortly after being diagnosed with cancer. With a goal of helping to one day open a music venue in Havertown, Adrian assumed Promotion responsibilities for all fundraising music events.

Sadly, Adrian succumbed to cancer and passed away just weeks before the official opening, but he knew his dream had been realized.
