Interview with southern rock band NEELY contributed by DriftNDie

May 27, 2015

Music creates love, but in the case of southern rock band NEELY, love created music. Husband and wife team Jeremy and Kaci Neely tour the country, with kids in tow, spreading their messages and lyrics. NEELY brings forth a mix of lighter rock, much like 3 Doors Down and Daughtry, along with heavier ballads similar to Evanescence. Recently Drift & Die Press had an opportunity to chat with one half of the Nashville duo! DND: What’s the general concept & mission of NEELY? Jeremy: Kaci and I simply want to make excellent music that moves people. Outside of the writing process, we try our best to treat every individual (whether online or at a show) the way that we would want to be treated. Really in the end we aren’t out there trying to build a “fanbase” but rather a worldwide family. DND: Where’d the band name come from? Jeremy: The name NEELY is simply our last name. I remember when we tried to find that perfect name. We wrote list after list and [Read More]
