Career With A Fragile Tomorrow

A Fragile Tomorrow began as a three piece in 2003, composed of brothers Sean, Dominic, and Brendan Kelly. Three years later, they had enough material for a full-length album, which led to their 2006 debut Wishful Thinking. Soon after the release, bassist Shaun Rhoades was added to the group.[1] In 2008, the foursome released the Malcolm Burn-produced follow up Beautiful Noise on their own label. After that came 2010's Tripping Over Nothing, 2012's Be Nice Be Careful(produced by Mitch Easter, and 2015's Make Me Over, which was their debut on NYC-based label MPress Records. The latter scored the band an Independent Music Award[2] for their collaboration with folk legend Joan Baez (a tribute to the Kelly brother's late cousin Richard Farina and his wife, Joan's sister, Mimi Farina.) Make Me Over also earned the band 5 Grammy pre-nominations[3] in 2016. A Fragile Tomorrow has toured internationally with groups like Indigo Girls, The Bangles, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Matthew Sweet, K's Choice, Antigone Rising, and more.

In addition to touring and recording with AFT, Dom has also been featured on releases from various other artists. Dom and Sean were featured vocalists on Indigo Girls 2010 live album Staring Down The Brilliant Dream[4] as well as Amy Ray's 2012 solo release Lung Of Love.[5] Additionally, Dom has sang and played drums on a number of other records, including a collaboration between singer-songwriter Rachael Sage and legendary singer Judy Collins, as well as Canadian songwriter Kevin Parent.

Everything Is Just Enough

In early 2017, Dom announced the release of his debut solo album Everything Is Just Enough on MPress Records.[6] The album will be released by NYC-based label Mpress Records. It features appearances by Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Chris Trapper of The Push Stars, Sarah Bettens of K's Choice, Doris Muramatsu of Girlyman, and his identical brother and A Fragile Tomorrow bandmate Sean Kelly. He announced dates with Indigo Girls, Seth Glier and Rachael Sage in support of the album, and he also appeared at the 2017 Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City, MO.
