"I'm really excited because I did Seth's first concert and it was a gift to do something new and make music together for the first time over these platforms," explained Kelli. "To get to return to it when some of that has been ironed out, and to sing again... I always have so much fun with Seth!"

What can fans expect from the concert? "Of course we don't think about it until the very last minute- what we're gonna do..." she said. "We'll go back and forth and what we come up with will be a last minute, fun decisions."
