Rorie Kelly is unassuming, polite, the kind of woman you’d hang out with at a coffee shop and speak with about everything and nothing.

Then listen to her rock. An aggressive acoustic guitar style and raw powerhouse vocals match the powerful message of her new album, Rising, Rising, Rising.

“I wrote these songs about my own journey and I hope they will inspire others to find their inner strength and befriend themselves,” Kelly said of the album, released Jan. 30.

Kelly stopped by the Long Island Pulse headquarters in Patchogue to give us a listen to Rising, Rising, Rising.
