Arvos with Andy

A new stage in music for Kelly Hamilton with her latest single “Without You”.  After 6 years (with a little pause) of releasing music under the name Kell, indie rock/country artist Kelly Hamilton is stepping into a new chapter with her full name and a rawer, more grounded sound. Her brand-new track “Without You” is a song of healing. This song is a haunting, cinematic ballad that captures the ache of losing someone who once made life feel whole. It drifts between tender memories and the stark emptiness of the present, reflecting the surreal disorientation of grief. With its blend of personal farewell and universal resonance, Without You becomes an anthem for anyone navigating the fragile space between remembrance and moving forward.

Cam’s music is best described as between Folk, Country and Rock like that of music legends Jim Croce and Neil Young.

On Arvos with Andy, we had the pleasure of having Carl Emerton with a fun song with purpose ‘Aim To Be True’. This is a jaunty song aimed at getting some balance back in the world. Honesty and love do a lot better than division and deception. Carl’s lyrics are simple and direct with Bill Chambers’ supporting the production. This track is slick and on point augmented by some masterful musicianship.
