Sarah Kelly Featured on CMCentral.com! Not only is Sarah Kelly a great rocker, she’s also a lot of fun to talk with. The passion and excitement that come across in her music flow abundantly from her very honest and engaging personality. Anyway, CMCentral caught up with her just a few days after the Oscars in February. CMCentral (Kevan Breitinger): So Sarah, I read on your blog that you just played an after-Oscars party? Sarah Kelly: Yeah, for Billboard. It’s so crazy, isn’t it? That sounds like fun, was it? It was awesome. Cirque du Soleil was there and they did a lot of great stuff, and there were a lot of people contributing to United Way, so it was a great thing to be a part of. And it was completely star-studded, a lot of people there, so it was an incredible opportunity for me to play. I’m glad they got a chance to hear your music. It was amazing, so great, and they really liked it. Well, of course! (Laughing) Thank you. People were so supportive; I was surprised how much they really liked it. You’re used to that kind of support in a church, but out there you never know if they’re gonna love you or hate you.
