Kelley Kemp: Glee-Mann of the High King

Welcome to Kelley's Adventures

I bring a few decades of life and small business expierience to the Northeast Tennessee area. There are plenty of bookkeepers and accountants in the area. Most can't take new clients. Like them, i have chosen to limit what I do and for whom I do it. Check out the next page, "Bookkeeping Help if that is why you are here. For all others, please continue below.

About My Intentions

Glee-Mann, Gleeman, or Gleomann

Since Gleeman is a family name for some in the world, I chose to go with a modified version. There is an inside story about why I write it as Glee-Mann, and to find out, find me at a tri-city event this summer. 

A medieval itinerant singer; a minstrel. [Middle English gleman, from Old English glēoman : glēo, minstrelsy; see ghel-2 in the Appendix of Indo-European roots + man, man; see MAN.] - from American Heritage Dictionary.


Several synonyms include troubadour, bard, harper, jongleur, musician, performance player, poet, and show singer. - from Thesaurus.com. 

Storyteller

Decades of life experiences, which formerly were considered over and done with, became fuel to growing a crop of truth based tall tales. I have sought a reason for being and finally discovered the identity I was born with and never brave enough to embrace. Bringing life and joy to the part of the world I can influence has begun and hope to continue.

Author

A storytelling identity covers more than tall tales spoken on a Friday night. I have done a lot of writing over the years and was one Senior Seminar away from a minor in English. Over a decade ago I began a novel (yeah, who hasn't) and left it unfinished. Partly because I figured out how it ended, I didn't feel the need to continue, but mostly from doubt and unbelief. Early on, I tied everything I did to making money. I just couldn't justify anything with some chance of income being attached. Now, I am letting go of that burden and pursuing various aspects of storytelling. Kingdom Redemption, an episodic novel, has been released on Kindle Vella, and additional episodes are in the works. 

"Don't know where it's going but we're making good time!"

Ballad Singer

Marty Robbins, Johnny Horton, Jonny Cash, John Denver (I sense a pattern), and Tennessee Ernie Ford combined with some old school musicals and adventure movies, including Paint Your Wagon, Hobbit, and others combined to enhance the Storytelling experiences. I've begun learning the three-string cigar box guitar and a simple dulcimer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact me if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yep, and can travel if needed. A deposit would be required of 50% of the performance fee not including travel. Full payment is due upon arrival and setup. Contact me to find out what the costs would be including any significant travel.


Absolutely do! With a portable stage trailer, I can do outdoor performances as long as no other loud performers are close by. I will be participating in some different events in the Tri-Cities of East Tennessee as a busker, accepting donations from listeners. I dedicate some time for performing at assisted living facilities also at no charge and no tips requested. Contact me to find out if your event or location would qualify.


Heck no!!! JUST KIDDING! Yes, if I have to cancel due to illness or other personal emergency, the entire deposit is returned. If severe weather causes the event to be cancelled, the entire deposit is returned. If you cancel with a minimum of seventy two (72) hours, then the entire deposit is returned. However, less notice than seventy two (72) hours forfeits the entire deposit.
