Scott Kelly accompanied by John Judkins
European Tour 2018
Scott Kelly is one of three founding members of the legendary band Neurosis of Oakland, California. Has been writing and publishing music since 1985 with Neurosis, Tribes of Neurot, Blood and Time, Shrinebuilder, Corrections House, Mirrors For Psychic Warfare and his solo acoustic project, as well as being part owner of Neurosis' record label Neurot recordings.
With his unmistakable deep growl, his fearless lyrical honesty, and rich, spare guitar work, Mr. Kelly lays everything on the line. Only a true artist would be so willingly and completely exposed. So intensely focused on truth, redemption, and healing. So in tune with the song he has always heard inside. His path has been a narrow, dark, and difficult one. But with his most recent work, Scott Kelly shows that his strength and vision has endured it all.
John Judkins is a multi-instrumentalist from Middle Tennessee. He is a founding member of the alt-metal group Laser Flames on the Great Big News (guitar/vocals,) as well as guitarist for apocalyptic prog-rockers The Protomen and bassist for Murfreesboro, Tn's Seafood Hotline. John has spent years as a touring bassist with former and current Relapse Record's bands Today is the Day (2008-2010) and Rwake (2010-present.)
“Kelly is primarily known for his day job in the legendary band Neurosis, as well as in acts like Shrinebuilder, Mirrors for Psychic Warfare, Corrections House, Tribes of Neurot, Blood & Time, etc. Thankfully, I was hip to the stripped down, minimalist music he creates alone, as well. The profoundly poignant content he manifests as an individual, or within the set up as Scott Kelly & The Road Home, is a soul-searing testament to his earnest talent.

As for the people in attendance, the significance of our collective, communal-like experience was evident. Complete silence hung like a haze during these songs. No one dared utter a word as we stood transfixed, only applauding as each came to an end.

There would be a fantastic sonic representation of the varying periods of output from Kelly’s solo legacy, as songs “The Wash Of The Sea” and “Endless” from 2016’s “Push Me Onto The” EP were played. There were returns to the 2012 album (…), as well, with “The Sun Is Dreaming In The Soul” and “We Let The Hell Come”. The ladder was delivered with sections of undiluted aggression channeled, via electrified instrumentation and performer angst.”
