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. 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 Make Me Over also earned the band 5 Grammy pre-nominations 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 as well as Amy Ray's 2012 solo release Lung Of Love.
