“Humans are complicated creatures. None of us are all or nothing. We contain multitudes. We are the heroes, the villains, and even the bystanders in our stories. Which character do you most often play? What story are you telling? Is it the one you want to be creating? If not, how could you change it? How do you get there from here? Are you willing to take the journey?" -Melissa Kelley

Join Melissa and accompanist Lucy Hoy for an intimate evening of music and storytelling as we delve into life's most consequential moments and ponder the winding path life takes. Don't miss this incredible in-person event that promises to leave you with a renewed sense of wonder and a deeper understanding of life's complexities.
