Born and raised in Missouri, singer/songwriter Kelly McGuire relocated to Clear Lake, TX, and started a career in songwriting from the area. Writing for commercials and jingles, he began to perform around the Texas area and started writing his own material. He recorded his first CD in 1999, released in 2000 as Redfish Island. He also performed for President George Bush Jr. after the release, as well as performing throughout the country on various small tours. He stepped back into the studio in 2002 to work on his sophomore effort. ~ Bradley Torreano
