Brian Kelly
Cape Cod's own 'Fishmonger' brings guitar, voice, and harmonica to the Loft Shack — weaving Americana, classic rock, folk, and Irish tunes from a repertoire that tops 600 songs. A veteran of the Cape's resort circuit, he's the rare one-man show that genuinely covers musical ground.
Brian 'Fishmonger' Kelly is a Sandwich, MA-based solo acoustic guitarist, singer, and songwriter who has spent 35-plus years gigging across Cape Cod and the wider New England circuit — including Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and venues like the Chatham Bars Inn, Ocean Edge Resort, and Red Jacket Beach Resort. The nickname is earned: he has spent a parallel career as a Cape Cod marine fisheries biologist. Musically, his wheelhouse spans acoustic roots, Americana, classic rock, folk, country/rock, and Irish tunes, and he regularly folds harmonica into the mix. He can run fully acoustic with no backing tracks or shift into one-man-band mode — a flexibility that has made him a fixture at beach weddings, poolside parties, and bar stages across the region. He also performs as part of the duo Seabreeze with George Machon.
