In a world where artists are striving to make their mark and their music stand out, Garland Kelley is slowly forging his own path, making the transition from full-time performer to recording artist. Describing himself as a ‘veteran of the Nashville live scene’, Garland is now approaching a wider audience with ‘The Point of No Return’, a slow-paced rock anthem anchored in tradition and solemn tones. In it, the listener will be confronted with Kelley’s nuanced artistry, able to switch from energetic and fuzzy tones to more poised poignant settings, exploring the intersection between rock and pop.
Lyrically, ‘The Point of No Return’ addresses issues of climate change and self-destruction, empowering the listener into taking action and fight for a better future. The slightly ‘catastrophic’ accent of this important theme is helped by a certain epicness in the music, as if it were the soundtrack to a colossal movie’s final scene. In a sense, Garland seeks to highlight how we are literally reaching a point of no return.
After years in the local live scene, Kelley is sharing more of his artistry, connecting with global citizens all around the world. We are glad he’s doing so: his musical gift deserves to be heard far and wide, as so does his guitar prowess.
