Kelli Owens Hutton walks the walk.  A Berklee College of Music graduate, she was signed with Atlantic Records for a while, pursuing the rock and roll dream.  Then life stepped in, (as life has a way of doing) and Kelli found herself married, middle-aged, middle class and a mother.   What's a rocker to do?   Find a genre, that's what.  From her experience as both an artist, a woman and yes, mom she launched MomCore.  

MomCore is hard driving rock n' roll, with punk sensibilities delving into the everyday issues, such as that 12-year-old heading into the teenage years, or the mother-in-law hovering over your shoulder.  Kelli punches out two-minute, jangly guitar laden songs of angst, anger and telling-it-like-it-is music.  Her style (and her genre) not surprisingly resonates with a LOT of women out there.  And men like her style as well.  Working with Producer Liam Davis (also a Chicago-based artist) Owens Hutton put together the EP album Soccer Trophy.  Her style is brass and doesn't shy from the occasional f-bomb, like any good mom who has had it up to here with being everything for everyone 24/7/365.
