Victoria Kelley
Victoria plays mandolin and sings lead in Indigo Roots Band, and studios around Franklin and Nashville call her when a record needs mandolin. She studied at Berklee College of Music and knows what a mandolin has to do in a real band: drive the rhythm with a tight chop, take a clean break, and stay out of the singer’s way. That’s what she teaches — solid technique, the tunes every picker should know, and the confidence to jump into a jam or a session. Beginners welcome; seasoned players who want to clean up their tone and timing too.
