It's COOL at the Kelly Center. Tonight DelcoBilly and Sludge bring some heat but the AC is cranking. 7:30 start. BYOB.

06/05/2026

The 50s called… DelcoBilly answered with a little extra Delco edge. 🎸

Catch DelcoBilly with Sludge at the Kelly Center on Saturday, June 6 at 7:30 PM for a night of 1950s rock ‘n’ roll, fiery guitar solos, danceable throwback energy, and loud local music.

DelcoBilly brings the Sun Records spirit. Sludge brings the heavy. You bring yourself.

Meet your Saturday night lineup at the Kelly Center: DelcoBilly with Sludge. 🎶

DelcoBilly is here for the 45 RPM crowd. If the song couldn’t fit on a 45, they won't play it.

Their set pulls from the golden era of Sun Records and the sounds of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, and more, all delivered with a little modern Delco edge.

Expect danceable tempos, fiery guitar solos, vintage rock ‘n’ roll spirit, songs about cars, songs about love, and love songs about cars.

Then Sludge takes the stage with a completely different kind of Delco sound: loud, heavy doom/sludge metal from a four-piece band built to put on a powerful show.

Catch both bands live at the Kelly Center on Saturday, June 6 at 7:30 PM.

DelcoBilly with Sludge comes to the Kelly Center this Saturday! 🎸

Join us on Saturday, June 6 at 7:30 PM for a night that brings two very different kinds of Delco energy to the stage.

DelcoBilly is a bar-hopping throwback cover band re-igniting the sound and spirit of 1950s rock ‘n’ roll. Think Sun Records-era classics, danceable tempos, fiery guitar solos, songs about cars, songs about love, and yes… love songs about cars.

Then get ready for Sludge, a loud and heavy doom/sludge metal band from Delco that brings a completely different kind of power to the room.

If you like your live music with personality, grit, and a little bit of whiplash in the best way, this is your Saturday night plan.

MindStorm is an all-original Progressive Rock and Jazz Fusion quartet bringing serious musicianship and adventurous energy to the Kelly Center stage.

The band features Scot Silver on guitar/vocals, Eric Schreiber on bass, John Thomas on keyboards/vocals, and Mark Beecher on percussion.

Their sound pulls from a wide mix of influences, including Toto, Kansas, Chick Corea, Living Colour, and early Genesis. In other words: expect original music, sharp playing, big dynamics, and a show that refuses to stay in one lane.

MindStorm has also earned recognition in the Annual WDDE Hometown Heroes contest, receiving nominations for Best New Band, Best New EP, Best Guitarist, and Best Bassist.

Join us at the Kelly Center on Friday, May 29 at 7:30 PM for Lauren Minear with Julieann Ott.

Lauren Minear brings thoughtful, emotionally rich songwriting to the stage, blending alternative, pop, rock, and folk with a voice that has been compared to Natalie Merchant, Dido, and Maggie Rogers. Her latest album, Boxing Day, has earned critical praise for its honest reflections on motherhood, relationships, womanhood, and finding your way forward.

Opening the evening is Julieann Ott, a Philly-based singer-songwriter whose rootsy pop “song-stories” are warm, introspective, and beautifully performed.

It’s the kind of night the Kelly Center was made for: great songs, talented artists, and a community gathered around live music.

Meet Lauren Minear. 🎶

Originally from Nashville and now based in New York, Lauren is a singer-songwriter known for translating complex inner worlds into immersive sound.

Her voice has drawn comparisons to Natalie Merchant, Dido, and Maggie Rogers, while her lyricism has been compared to Joni Mitchell and Sarah McLachlan for its emotional precision and depth.

Lauren’s third album, Boxing Day, was released in October 2025 to critical acclaim. EARMILK called it “an 11-song masterpiece that pulls apart the webbing of motherhood, relationships, and womanhood.”

Written in the aftermath of betrayal and self-reflection, the album moves through anger, shame, acceptance, and ultimately liberation.

Critics and listeners have described Lauren’s work as:
“A masterclass in emotional depth”
“Emotionally charged, socially-conscious music”
“This music is sorely needed right now”
“A storyteller at heart”
“A charged-up pen”

See Lauren Minear live with Julieann Ott at the Kelly Center on Friday, May 29 at 7:30 PM.

Kelly Music for Life is proud to announce Theresa Murtagh as the Grand Marshal of the 8th Annual Havertown Irish Festival. ☘️

A proud daughter of Delaware County, Theresa has built a life rooted in leadership, service, family, and Irish heritage.

Her love of Irish culture began at just six years old through Irish dance, eventually leading her to compete at the Championship level across the United States and at the World Championships in Ireland. That passion continued through music, where Theresa spent more than two decades performing Irish ballads and country folk songs in pubs, at festivals, on cruises, and throughout the community.

Theresa’s leadership in the Irish-American community is just as remarkable. She has served as President of the Donegal Association, helped establish the Innisfree/Irish Affinity Club at the Union League of Philadelphia, and made history as the first female President of the Friendly Sons and Daughters of St. Patrick.

She is also deeply committed to service, supporting charitable and community organizations throughout the region while continuing to bring people together through heritage, music, faith, and good company.

We are honored to celebrate Theresa Murtagh as this year’s Grand Marshal as we gather for Irish America 250 at the 8th Annual Havertown Irish Festival.

📅 Saturday, June 13
⏰ Noon–8 PM
📍 50 E. Eagle Road, Havertown, PA
🎟️ Free Admission

Please join us in congratulating Theresa! ☘️

MindStorm is an all-original Progressive Rock and Jazz Fusion quartet featuring guitarist/vocalist Scot Silver, bassist Eric Schreiber, John Thomas on keyboards/vocals, and percussionist Mark Beecher.

Their sound is a melting pot of Toto, Kansas, Chick Corea, Living Colour, and early Genesis — which basically means anything can happen, and it probably will.

If you love original music, serious players, and a live show that moves between rock, fusion, groove, and full-on musical exploration, this is your night.
