North Little Rock's own Audrey Dean Kelley started writing music when she was just 13. She stole her sister's guitar and started teaching herself songs on the internet. She put her first band together called Audrey and the Hullaballoo's with Joe Wood and Chris Churchill when she was 14. They mostly played original music, and a few covers. Her wide range of influences include: James Taylor, John Lennon, Stevie Nicks, The Kinks, Ben Harper, Elton John, Tom Petty, Peter Frampton, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Springsteen. Kelley wrote every song that is on her current album; its message is that anyone can accomplish their dreams with hard work and perserverence. After spending 5 years attending Occidental in Los Angeles, Kelley moved back home to Arkansas.
