With the addition of new full-time members, the
project forged as SCOTT KELLY AND THE ROAD HOME --
orchestrated by Neurosis' founding guitarist/vocalist, Scott Kelly -- has since
taken a new form as simply, THE ROAD HOME.
Neurosis' keyboard/effects wizard, Noah Landis,
has been a part of the project since the creation of SCOTT KELLY AND THE ROAD
HOME's 2012-released debut album, The Forgiven Ghost In Me,
providing baritone guitars and keyboards to the record and on stage. Yet, since
his role in the outfit has become much more expansive and significant, in both
inception and delivery of the tunes, his place in the lineup has therefore
become more permanent. Additionally, renowned singer/songwriter Munly J Munly
has joined the group in recent months, helping reshape the band's sound. An
iconic folk/country/gospel multi-instrumentalist who has helped shape the
contemporary sound of Denver, Munly is part of several current acts, including
his own Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots, as well as Slim Cessna's Auto Club,
Denver Broncos UK and others, with releases on Smooch Records, Alternative
Tentacles and more, in addition to being an awarded author, and so on.
Issues Kelly of the current state of THE
ROAD HOME, "We changed the name because with the addition of Munly and
Noah's already prominent role in the process it felt that this had become a
band of absolutely equal parts in every way. We will be working on new material
throughout the year in preparation for a new record."
As their next recorded chapter comes
together, THE ROAD HOME's new lineup will be playing live whenever
possible, beginning with a newly-confirmed Western US tour which begins next
week. From Thursday, January 22rd through Wednesday, February 4th, they will
traverse through California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Washington with
twelve dates confirmed.
Additional tour and release news on THE
ROAD HOME will be confirmed and announced in the months ahead.

Neurot Recordings released SCOTT KELLY
AND THE ROAD HOME's debut outing, The Forgiven Ghost In Me, in
August 2012. Dissimilar to his previously-released solo outings, on this
recording Kelly sought out additional musicians to help bring his written
vision to fruition, recruiting the talents of Greg Dale and Noah Landis, as
well as guest contributions from Jason Roeder (Neurosis, Sleep) and
Josh Graham (A Storm Of Light, ex-Neurosis). The Forgiven Ghost In Me, flows
with over forty minutes of foreboding Americana showcasing the ever-evolving
artist brandishing some of Kelly's most expressive hymns of pain, reflection
and redemption to date.
