Originally from Austin, TX, he moved to New York City to attend NYU, where he studied classical vocal performance and music composition. For years he performed his original compositions for guitar, vocals, flute, violin, bass, and percussion at many popular NYC venues. He then spent five years traveling through South America with just his guitar and a suitcase. Living mostly in Argentina and Brazil, Kelly met his husband, and his travel experiences inspired the core of Kelly&#8217;s album &#8211; pure love, loss, discovery, and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kris shares some insight into &#8216;Cracked Porcelain:&#8217; &#8220;This is a story about two gay men who find freedom in defining their relationship in an unconventional, &#8216;open&#8217; way but who end up getting lost in the revelry and ultimately drive each other apart. I think the LGBTQ community has a unique opportunity to redefine our relationship with sex within our partnerships. Not having forced onto us the traditional ways of defining a healthy partnership gives us the freedom to discover it for ourselves, but it also comes with a great responsibility, and I think we often fail. I failed at least. And that&#8217;s OK, because I realized if I wanted to be happy, I had to make a change. I&#8217;ve been forced to reevaluate constantly my relationship with my partner and to figure out how to respect each other while maintaining a healthy individuality, and we&#8217;re still navigating it to this day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s easy to go unconscious and do whatever feels good in the moment, but without consciously, intentionally taking care of the relationship, it falls apart. There has to be a balance in order to nurture both carnal desires and the spiritual connection with another human being (if that&#8217;s something that you value). And when things are out of balance, suffering is inevitable. That&#8217;s what happens in &#8216;Cracked Porcelain&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kris Kelly&nbsp;has released his newest single &#8220;Cracked Porcelain,&#8221; featuring&nbsp;an all-star team of musicians, including&#8221;&nbsp;Todd Sickafoose&nbsp;(&#8220;Hadestown&#8221;, Ani DiFranco) on bass and arrangements by John Philip Shenale&nbsp;(Tori Amos).&nbsp; The track will appear on his forthcoming album,&nbsp;Runaways, due out on&nbsp;August 29, which also features previously released singles &#8220;Birthplace&#8221; and &#8220;We Flew.&#8221; Kris Kelly is a singer\/songwriter based in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_breakdance_hide_in_design_set":false,"_breakdance_tags":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[42,2,53,41,4],"tags":[1499,1500,1461],"class_list":["post-380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brooklyn","category-features","category-media","category-nyc-metro","category-regions","tag-cracked-porcelain","tag-kris-kelly","tag-pride"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
