Kirby Kelly Wins Guitar Center’s King Of The Blues

In: Guitar| Video

16 Nov 2009

Kirby Kelly has been involved with NGW for quite a while.  Recently, he entered the Guitar Center King of The Blues Competition and made it all the way to the finals.  A good friend, Pauline France (@paulinepr) was there covering the event for iHeartGuitar and texted me the news that Kirby had walked away with it all.

I couldn’t think of a more deserving musician than Kirby. As you can tell by the video above, he is a pretty bad ass guitar player.  Surely, this will bring Kirby some more well deserved attention.

He deserves it.

  • Yeah, Kirby is one of the most amazing guitar players I have ever worked with. I just wish his CD's were easier to find.
