Held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 24th, the Oscar party featured Kelly and band performing three songs for the event attendees. Actor Tommy Davidson (The Bernie Mac Show, Mad TV) introduced Kelly to the stage and afterwards she was complimented on her performance by recording artist Tiffany (80’s top hit “I Think We’re Alone Now”).

Sarah’s upcoming April 1st musical installment, Born To Worship (Gotee) features 10 songs of what Kelly is calling “edgy, passionate worship” as it chronicles her own personal survival story from self-hate and abuse. Producer credits on Born To Worship go to Mitch Dane (Jars Of Clay, Bebo Norman) with Vance Powell (Martina McBride, Jars Of Clay) coming alongside as mix engineer. Daniel Huscroft also co-produced with Dane on the songs “Faithful Father” and “Amazing Grace”.

Take Me Away, Sarah Kelly’s 2004 Gotee Records’ debut, merited the singer-songwriter a bevy of attention from fans as well as industry, who gave her a GRAMMY nod in the “Best Rock Gospel Album” category. The album nabbed the #12 spot on the “Top Christian Albums” Soundscan chart first week out by selling more than 4,100 units, securing her as the highest new artist debut in the 10-year history of the Gotee label. The single “Take Me Way” also landed a No. 6 spot on the CHR radio charts. In 2005, the national retail store Guitar Center added Kelly’s image to the "World’s Largest Outdoor Photo Exhibit,” a gallery found on the outside of 140 Guitar Center stores all around the country. In addition, Kelly was one of the first Christian artists to have music exclusives featured on Sony Connect (www.sonyconnect.com). Kelly’s last album, Where The Past Meets Today, sold nearly 5,000 albums first week out, landing at #2 on Sound Scan’s Christian album chart, and merited yet another GRAMMY nomination. She also made a guest appearance on Rick Dee’s Top 40 Countdown syndicated radio show. Averaging 150-200 tour dates a year, Kelly has shared the stage with acts including Jars of Clay, Everyday Sunday, and Paul Wright.
