Nashville singer-songwriter Ruston Kelly tells a deeply personal story on his new release, "Pickleball," about a meaningful relationship and the transformative experience of being understood by someone who sees beyond your past. The song's backstory centers on a memorable first meeting on a pickleball court and the kind of connection that can change a person's self-perception and what lies ahead.
Jarrad K and Ruston Kelly wrote "Pickleball," which Jarrad K produced with a tight-knit group of musicians. His sister, Abigail Kelly, sings background vocals, and his father, Tim Kelly, plays steel guitar. John Chong plays drums, and Calvin Knowle adds bass, bringing family connections and more musical collaboration to the recording.
The song's title reminds us of the simple place where the connection began, anchoring a moment of personal significance to an everyday event. Several personal and creative connections are reunited on the release with contributions from fellow musicians and family members. "Pickleball" is Ruston Kelly's take on how the right person can turn uncertainty into renewed purpose, a heartfelt look at love, acceptance, and becoming a better version of yourself.
