A Rick Kelley performance can strengthen and unify the bonding process among audience members. His clever, mostly intuitive sense at knowing how and when to energize and engage the audience is the foundation for his success.  In the course of Rick’s show, you will see people dancing, singing, laughing, and playing percussion instruments to music that covers Motown, Cajun-Zydeco, Reggae, classic R&B, or moving original ballads. Something for everyone!

There is no one better at reading an audience and inspiring participation than Rick Kelley.

              “Best participation I have ever seen.” Student Activities Coordinator, Highland Community College, IL

There’s a reason Rick has won so many performance awards; he’s a dynamic performer whose specialty is bringing out everyone’s FUN side.  People are constantly amazed at how Rick can get people who “never participate” to do exactly that.  He has never performed a show where audience members haven’t been involved.  It’s a sure thing!  Fun guaranteed!!

“Our audience ate it up!”  Music Chair, University of Akron, OH
