Nancy Kelly wrote her first song at 17 about drinking tea by candlelight on the sultry shores of Cape Cod. Since then she has been documenting her life through music.
"I create these three-minute pictures of what I love in life: my friends, family, my house and dogs," she said.
Kelly started playing in Boise's music scene in 1998, at places such as Moon's Kitchen, Art Source Gallery, and Art and Roses.
She plays keyboards and the mountain dulcimer, an instrument her friends and family pitched in to buy for her last birthday. She's been teaching herself to play.
"I've been learning some of the old songs, you know the Appalachian folk songs, and now I'm writing a few."
