Rock Singer-Songwriter Kelly Greene is still reaping the success of her second release "I Wish I Was Alive" the latest of which has come through the international songwriting contest SongDoor. Kelly has received five honorable mentions across two categories, with one of those songs receiving special recognition from the judges.

Songdoor, based out of Nashville, TN, selects only five finalists in each of six categories, Country, Christian, Pop, Rock/Alt, Soft Rock and Instrumental, which makes for some super-competitive competition when it comes to getting into those top five spots. The 30 finalists are then narrowed down to select one grand prize winner. The 2009 contest was judged by Jason Blume, Brady Seals, Steve Avedis, Robert Reynolds, Tony Raine, and Dennis Winters. Tony Zotta, President of SongDoor, placed a note on the website stating that there were so many songs that deserved to be in the finals this year, that they called out the few songs the judges felt deserved special recognition.

The songs penned by Kelly Greene receiving honorable mentions are:

In the Rock/Alt category...
"Bottle of Crazy"
"I'll Miss You When You Go"
"Addiction"
In the Soft Rock category...
"Is It Too Much"
"Stare At The Sun" (special recognition)

Kelly Greene's performing at the largest-ever simultaneous live acoustic music event, Born to Play hosted by Gap. On August 20, 2009, every Gap store in the U.S. and Canada will host an exclusive, live acoustic music night to celebrate Gap’s 40 years of heritage in jeans and music. (Over 700 simultaneous performances)…pretty cool! Kelly has the honor of performing at the Flagship store in New York City, located on 34th & Broadway.

Just a quick shout out to all the latest stations putting KG's music out there on the airwaves: WVKR, WCVF, WRKC & WRUR! Thanks for your support!

Skope Magazine Staff Writer Janie Franz has selected Kelly Greene has one of Sonicbids' Artists 2 Watch for September 2008. Kelly is honored by the fantastic things that Janie has said about her music and talent. Check out the link on KG's Press page to read the full article.

When you're hot, you're hot and Kelly Greene's on fire! Having signed an 11-song licensing deal with a major west coast publisher not even two months ago, KG has gone and landed a ten-song non-exclusive deal with a very well-known east coast music licensing company. This latest deal is for her entire first album You Leave Me Here.

Kelly Greene has been selected to play at M.E.A.N.Y.FEST 2008 this October in NYC. This festival/competition runs from October 8-18 in several different venues still TBA. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted on the details as we get them ourselves.

WVKR listeners have been listening to tracks off of Kelly Greene's new album "I Wish I Was Alive" for three weeks already on Sharon Panaro's Wednesday night show, Regional Frequency. Kelly dropped by the studio last night and spent an hour chatting with Sharon live on air about everything from songwriting to the discipline and drive it takes to become a successful independent artist. She clearly fits in with the WVKR family of music and gave a great acoustic performance of two of her songs along with her guitarist Jonathan Dale. The two of them played "Bottle of Crazy" and "This Town" out on acoustic guitars toward the end of the hour before listeners were reminded to come out on Friday, July 11, to Poughkeepsie venue, The Muddy Cup at 8PM, to meet Kelly in person and enjoy a full acoustic set. For more information on this show and upcoming gigs, visit www.kellygreene.com.

Kelly Greene inked a non-exclusive 11-song licensing deal for her latest release "I Wish I Was Alive" with major L.A. Publisher, Songs With Vision.

"It's great to know that your music is not only in the hands of someone with such an extensive background in the music industry, but someone who truly believes in what you've done and will stand behind it. I'm very excited about this new deal," says Greene, and so are we.

It was standing room only as Kelly Greene took the stage this past Saturday at The Cutting Room in NYC. With that turn out alone, the show would be considered a success, but the reaction of the crowd told an even greater story. Fans and first-time Kelly Greene listeners were visibly blown away by the amazing live performance that, dare I say, is even better than the CD itself. Greene's voice, the sound, the energy of the whole band was just electric and it left everyone hungry for more. Fans scrambled to buy CD's on the way out as they spilled into the street and raved about the concert.

rVibe streamed the show live on the internet and is so excited about the performance that they have special plans for it. To stay on top of all the upcoming news, visit KellyGreene.com and join the email list. KG's team is great about keeping fans up to speed. If you haven't heard it before, then you'll hear it from me now: Kelly Greene is headed for the top.
