Kelley Morris knows exactly who she is as an artist and plans to be the next authentic female blues-belter of her generation. She's been writing songs for years and has over thirty originals to her credit. Recently, she's seen a surge in popularity. In 2007, she appeared on the TV show “Community Auditions”, winning two times and competing in the season's finals.

The Fallen Free features Jennifer Morris on vocals, Erik Benoit on percussion and Dave Coulter on upright bass. Jennifer studied voice in college and has been singing with Kelley for several years. Her strong alto harmonies add a heavy layer to the band's new sound. Multi-talented Erik Benoit can play most musical instruments and brings an amazing level of technical skill to the band. Dave Coulter has been playing bass for over twenty years and has been in several bands. Currently Coulter is studying jazz and classical bass at the NH Independent School of Music. Dave, a.k.a. “The Hammer”, has an aggressive and energetic style to the traditional upright bass.

Kelley Morris & The Fallen Free have a special chemistry that can be heard in their sound. The band's sound takes blues music and propels it forward to a new modern edge that is rock and blues done in a very original way. They are uniquely versatile in that they can play all the way from soft acoustic blues to a hard, electric, driving rock sound. The sound is smooth and unified; never reflecting individual instruments but rather one shared deep love of the music they're creating.

Kelley's music is lyric-driven bluesy folk with a rock edge; with driving beats and hooky melodies that are infectious. In a very authentic way, she fearlessly writes songs that have a universal appeal while at the same time addressing many social issues. With a four octave range and a unique texture to her voice, Morris gives a live performance that is unforgettable.
