Nov. 30th Featured Artist: Kelsie Bahr

Since graduating from Pepperdine Universtity with her vocal major and studies in piano and composition in 2006, Kelsie Bahr has worked Pierce and King county as a session singer and a pianist with her vocal work appearing on radio station IDs, jingles, a host of movies, film trailers and video games including DreamWorks productions MerryMadagascar in 2009, Shrek the Halls in 2008, as well as the Tudors Tv show, Forbidden Kingdom featuring Jackie Chan, Letters to God, Halo andWorld of Warcraft. Kelsie has continued her wide diversity of work, performing back up for Eric Benet at a private event in honor of acclaimed author William Young hosted by David Foster in 2009, in the most recent gospel album by recording artist Phil Driscol, and with the Pacific Northwest Ballet’s fall vignette of West Side Story in 2010.

In addition to her session work and coaching in both vocal and piano disciplines, she recently released her first EP of all original music last November "Out of the Blue" which is available on itunes. In it she fusses her love of soul, funk, gospel, jazz and pop into a fun, throwback mix of dance music as well as ballads that she has begun to spread in venues around pierce county. With her appear drummer Jason Bahr, artist Osama Afifi on bass, and saxophone aficionado and arranger Cliff Colon. More information as well as access to her music may be found on her website www.kelsibahrmusic.com.
