• Hi Tricia, I want to sincerely THANK YOU for helping make my Uncle Kenneth's Celebration of Life Memorial Service heartfelt, beautiful and a lasting tribute to a beautiful man and person. Your voice is a gift and those of us fortunate enough to have listened to you sing those songs so beautifully will be forever reminded of him when we hear them - so, for that, thank you, thank you, thank you! If we ever have an occasion to hire a vocalist or friends or family ask for a referral, I will most certainly suggest they contact you. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart and let me wish you a wonderful holiday season! Kind regards, Rob -- Rob B, Cypress, CA, 12/2/2011
• Tricia Kelly is an AMAZING performer. She was so easy to work with and followed through with our suggestions for the songs we requested for our fundraising dinner. Not only does Tricia have a fabulous voice but she also has great timing, and stage presence. She had everyone singing and clapping along with her. Her warmth and enthusiasm as she went around to different tables and sang to individuals really enhance the show. Her impressions of Barbara Streisand and Janis Joplin were untouchable...I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to any group looking for an all around entertainer with a great voice.

She has high energy and takes command of the stage– she is like the energizer bunny.Tricia performed for our St.Pat’s Dinner Dance party so besides some Irish songs she sang pop, rock, disco, country and show tunes. Oh my gosh, when she sang The Rose(Bette Midler),I Will Always Love You(Whitney Houston)and I’m Your Lady(Celine Dion)– those that were sitting jumped to their feet.Tricia has a wonderful personality and is also very professional.Our party was a huge success.We love Tricia Kelly and want her back!
