Sticks & Strings Concert & Golf Tournament
Sticks & Strings Concert & Golf Tournament
John, Josh, and Charles Kelley are a trio of brothers from Augusta, Georgia, who were raised on golf and music. They’ve grown up now, and while only one still calls Augusta home, all love the community – and their passion for golf and music has only grown.
In addition to loving music and golf, the Kelley Brothers are all committed to giving back to the communities they live in as well as the one they shared together growing up. That’s why The Kelley Brothers are bringing their Sticks & Strings Golf Tournament & Concert to the CSRA. Proceeds from the event will benefit charities in the three areas that were major influences in the brothers’ lives: golf, music, and healthcare. The golf organization is First Tee – Augusta, 12 Bands of Christmas is the music charity, and the healthcare recipient bears the name of the Kelley Brothers father; The John W. Kelley, M.D., Cardiovascular Endowment at the Piedmont Augusta Foundation.
The Kelley Bros
John Kelley, the oldest of the Brothers, grew up playing at West Lake Country Club and Augusta Country Club. He played college golf at Wake Forest University and has competed in various state and regional amateur events since his college days. After spending 15 years running a construction and development company in North Carolina John returned home to pursue real estate development. He sings in a Led Zeppelin tribute band and enjoys time on the golf course with his three children, Walter, Trudie, and Grady.
Josh Kelley, the Brothers’ middle child, attended the University of Mississippi on a golf scholarship. In 2001 he signed a record deal with Hollywood Records and charted his first Radio hits with the songs “Amazing and Only you. In 2010 he signed with Universal records and charted his first Country Radio hit with the song “Georgia Clay” co written with brother Charles. In 2012 Josh wrote the theme song for the hit syndicated TV show “Mike and Molly.” Josh married actress Katherine Heigl in 2007. The couple lives in Utah where they enjoy art and leatherwork and being the proud parents of 3 children.
Charles Kelley, the youngest of the brothers, has not only had success as part of Lady A, but also earned a GRAMMY nomination for “Best Country Duo/Group Performance” from his solo debut album’s release, THE DRIVER. As a co-writer on many chart-topping Lady A hits, including the 9X Platinum hit “Need You Now,” Kelley has also penned No. One hits by Luke Bryan, Darius Rucker, Brett Young and Russell Dickerson. Kelley was recently tapped by ESPN for his rendition of the iconic track “Georgia On My Mind” that was used in the official nationwide commercial leading into the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. Lady A have long been a model of mainstream success. They’re 11 No. Ones, 18 million albums sold, 34 million tracks, five billion digital streams and a global touring footprint prove the point. With a renewed sense of inner strength and hope, the multi-Platinum band released their eighth studio album WHAT A SONG CAN DO (BMLG Records). Working again with producer Dann Huff, the 14 tracks reinvigorate the band’s signature sound and electrifying harmony that has dominated charts for more than a decade. They have earned CMA Awards “Vocal Group of the Year” trophies three years in a row and countless other honors including, Billboard Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards, a Tony Award nod and were recently inducted as members of the Grand Ole Opry.
