“I had the pleasure of booking Roots Run Wild for a songwriter series that I hosted in Providence, Rhode Island. The entire audience, myself included, were captivated from the start. The harmonies and vocal blend from KT Lee and Kelly Ann Fernandes are striking. Add to that clever songwriting and catchy melodies and it’s hard not to be won over by these talented musicians.”

~Steve Allain (The Graduate Sessions)

“I have watched KT Lee and Kelly right from the beginning when they first met at an open mic… their harmonies are so good you would think they were sisters… they totally have their own sound. Once you hear them you are hooked.”
