Kelli Grant
Being from Texas, it was only natural for the Swing Queen to record a tribute CD to Texas Swing, “Swing Like That”. With her Western Swing notoriety growing, she was inducted into the Western Swing Hall of Fame, Seattle, Wa. and is a two time Nominee for the Will Rogers Award. With much praise coming out of Austin, she WOWED! The Texas Department of Transportation with her, “Don’t Mess With Texas” prompting them to issued a special license for use of their logo, a first for TxDot.
