Dottie Kelly
August 8 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Born in West Palm Beach, FL, Dottie sang in a Baptist church, which is where she developed her talent for singing. She would later follow her Aunt Betty Padgett, a well-known singer out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, to her various shows. Aunt Betty Padgett eventually asked Dottie to sing background with her and Joey Gilmore.
From that point on, Dottie has traveled to various states, and opened for many artists from around the world. Those experiences mixed with pure raw talent, have made her a bona fide soul singer.
Dottie released her 1st promo CD in 2012 and Single Dec 2020. “I Don’t Want No Man Like You”. Now released CD in Mar 2022 “Dancing Shoes”
She has been requested to perform on several occasions with Darrell Raines, Otis Cadillac, TKBlu Band, Ladies of Soul and Legendary Joey Gilmore band, just to name a few. Her soulful voice and natural stage presence is a force to be reckoned with.
Dottie Kelly and Darrell Raines, a duo act, made it to the IBC finals in Memphis on May 10, 2022.
