Kelly McCartney

Having won prestigious literary competitions in both grade school and junior high, I attended college with a Scripps Howard Foundation scholarship, earned a BA in Journalism, and interned at Entertainment Tonight. Since that time, I have worked in pretty much every aspect of the music industry — except artist, and I'm happy to sit that one out.

After a number of years working with artists in various capacities, I have shifted my focus back to journalism — mainly music, but not exclusively. I currently contribute to Shareable, Velvetpark, No Depression, Cuepoint, NoiseTrade, the VC Reporter, Folk Alley, Curve, and the Bluegrass Situation. 

Things I share: I seek. I write. I think. I roam. I listen. I care. I wonder. I help. I flirt. I try. I dream. I grow.
