Rorie Kelly and Special Guest Jay Scott Rock Blue Point

Sage Cafe in Blue Point heated up  on Sataurday night as special guest singer, songwriter Jay Scott, on acoustic guitar, joined Rorie Kelly and More of the Mess for a special performance. 

Rorie Kelly and More of the Mess consists of Kelly on lead vocals and guitar, Joe Ronde on drums and Kelly's father, Kevin Kelly on bass.  Their long awaited first full length album, wish upon a bottlecap is soon to be released.

Kelly, 25, is originally from Bayville and currently resides in Brooklyn.  The fresh faced redhead said, "I've lived everywhere; it's who I am—I'm a traveler."

She cites some of her musical influences as the twin duo, Tegan and Sara, Fiona Apple and Alanis Morrisette, "ladies who aren't afraid to be loud," she said.

Guest singer Jay Scott, a Patchogue native, recently released his sophomore CD, Life in a Hurry, the follow-up to his 2008 debut album, Homegrown, which was recorded during the Patchogue Theatre Live in the Lobby Series.  Scott has been honing his musical craft over the past decade through regular performances from coast to coast. 

His melodies have catchy hooks, while still retaining an authentic blues vibe, melded with a tinge of homespun country.

The Sage Cafe is a venue that mainly caters to acoustic performances, but Kelly and the band did an indie rock electric set.  It included their haunting, standout track "Ghost-Lover."  Jill from Melville said, "That was an awesome song; it will definitely be a hit."

"Rorie Kelly , honestly, she should be a superstar.  She is absolutely incredible. I had never heard her before— and I actually shut up," said Daina Lynn from Ronkonkoma.

Her boyfriend, Shamus, chimed in and said, "And that's not easy for her to do."

Rorie Kelly and More of the Mess are having a CD Release Party at 8 p.m. on August 27, at the Conklin Barn in Huntington.
