Bria's Bio:

Bria Kelly is a 16-year-old Virginia native and honor roll student who has been performing since age 11.

Bria started out by performing our National Anthem for local and regional sports teams, the Air Force and Navy, and for political, civic, charitable, law enforcement and veterans’ organizations.  At age 11, she won the Philadelphia Eagles’ National Anthem contest, and performed for 45,000 fans at an NFL game (just like 1st season winner of America's Got Talent, Bianca Ryan!)!  She has also performed for the Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Orioles.  She has performed the Anthem at large venues featuring Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, and Darius Rucker.  In all, Bria has performed the Anthem over 40 times to a combined audience of over a quarter-million people!  And she was the first official performer of Nashville’s CMA Music Fest 2010 by singing the Anthem there at Bridgestone Arena.

Bria won Altavista, Va’s 2009 Colgate Country Showdown singing contest and competed in the state finals.  Bria won Altavista’s 2011 Texaco Country Showdown contest, and went on to win the West Virginia-Virginia State Finals.  She is now headed to the Northeast Regionals in Knoxville, TN.

Bria won Eagle97’s (WGH-FM) WinterBlast Challenge contest, and as a result, she will be featured by Eagle97 throughout the year, and will open WinterBlast 2012 at the Hampton Coliseum.

Bria won “The Performers of Hampton Roads”.  Bria performed her original song (“May Her”) at Norfolk’s Chrysler Hall during the 2011 Hampton Roads Gala, where she was selected the winner.

Bria was one of only 82 teens nationwide to be selected for the Grammy Foundation’s “Grammy Camp 2011”, in Los Angeles, CA.  While there, she was coached by the likes of Darryl Brown (songwriter for Keith Urban) and Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers.

Bria performed at Nashville’s Cadillac Ranch in 2008, and returned to perform during CMA Music Fest 2009.  Bria has appeared on TV, both on “Nashville Spotlight”, and also locally regarding her Philadelphia Eagles contest win.  Bria kicked off the City of Norfolk’s 25th annual Grand Illumination Parade in 2009, where 100,000 people heard her sing throughout the streets of Norfolk, VA.

Bria writes original songs and plays the guitar, drums and keys, and during 2009 was the lead singer for The Bria Kelly Band.  She and two other band members opened for Miranda Lambert, and the band opened for The Carter Twins.  Bria was most recently the lead singer for CoastLand, which played a mixture of rock, country and blues.  CoastLand opened for country star Craig Morgan.

In an desire to play a wider variety of music and show off the sensitivity in her voice, Bria is now concentrating on her acoustic work.  She has performed solo at both The Nashville Palace and The Listening Room in Nashville during CMA Music Fest 2010.  Performing acoustically, she has opened for country stars Darius Rucker, Miranda Lambert, Gloriana, Clay Walker, The Carter Twins, Jerrod Niemann, Ashton Sheherd, Little Big Town and Josh Kelley.

Bria Kelly CCS Winner!


Bria won the Altavista (WKDE) Colgate Country Showdown competition on June 6th, 2009!  She competed Sept 25th, 2009 in Richmond, but she had strep throat.  This affected her vocal performance, and she did not win. But this hard-working gal will be back!

Many thanks to Nash Street for all their help and advice!

Bria's voice can't be described by only one simple motto, so here are our favorites,
actually compiled from her fan comments on YouTube:


"Bria's voice goes beyond the ears ... it gets into the heart."

"Nobody sings the Anthem like Bria Kelly!"

"The Voice of an Angel"

"I'm gonna go pick my jaw up off the floor now ... brilliantly amazing."
(We know this is not really a motto, but we REALLY liked the sentiment!)



Bria has proudly performed our National Anthem for:

Orioles     Redskins     Eagles     Admirals     Tides     Renegades


Relay for Life     Center for Child and Family Services     Congressman Randy Forbes     Virginia Beach Amphitheater     City of Virginia Beach     Isle of Wight County Schools


Veterans of Foreign Wars     Navy     Air Force     USS DWIGHT D EISENHOWER (CVN69)     PCU NEW MEXICO (SSN779)     Portsmouth Police Dept


     Eagle 97     



15-year-old Bria Kelly is a Hampton Roads native who has been compared to a young Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood or Martina McBride.  Bria’s voice is crystal clear, powerful and emotional, and has been said on many occasions to give people goosebumps and chills.

Beginning her professional singing career at age 11, she has performed for the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Baltimore Orioles, the Air Force and Navy, the Norfolk Admirals, Norfolk Tides, Richmond Renegades, Virginia Congressman Randy Forbes, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN-69), the City of Virginia Beach, and many others!

She has opened via the Anthem for celebrities such as Tracy Lawrence, Travis Tritt,
REO Speedwagon, Darius Rucker, the Drew Davis Band, Sara Evans, Taylor Swift,
Rascal Flatts, Heidi Newfield and Rodney Atkins.

Her unique voice continues to get her invited to event... after event... after event...
