From 2007-2017, Kelcy Wilburn released albums and toured as Kelcy Mae—her southern poeticism, commanding vocal performances, and genre-traversing albums landed her comparisons to a varied group of famous songstresses including Natalie Merchant, Regina Spektor, Bonnie Raitt, and Shelby Lynne. Before forming Ever More Nest in 2017, She released three full albums as Kelcy Mae: Half-Light Double EP (2014)—which included The Fire EP (2013)—, Pennies in Hand (2011), and The Times Compiled (2007).
On December 1, 2015, Kelcy Mae released a holiday single, "Christmas With You (Merry Me)," with an accompanying music video featuring photos of LGBTQ couples and allies in celebration of the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage. The music is available below and can also be found on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music / iTunes and Spotify.
