“If creativity could be individually rebellious and a voice of the people, then Kelli Owens Hutton understood the assignment. ‘Soccer Trophy’, albeit a passion project, happened to find this intersection and more.”
– Sound & Fury
"This is the soundtrack of our lives!"
– Chicago Mom
Kelli Owens Hutton made a record called Soccer Trophy and in the process created a genre called MomCore.
Soccer Trophy is brutal truth. Two minute guitar driven rock and roll songs about children, middle-age, marriage and all the shit. It’s also funny, revealing and moving.
Kelli partnered with Grammy-nominated (in children’s music, but still...) producer Liam Davis. They made
the record in her Chicago home studio, aka the laundry room. A multi-instrumentalist Kelli played every instrument on the record except the drums. Ok, she played bass on like half the songs too.
A Berklee College Of Music grad and major-label wash out (Atlantic records but who’s counting) Kelli took a long time off making music to raise her kids. They are a pain in the ass but she loves them anyway. The Dog of course comes first. Somewhere in there is also her husband.
Kelli's latest single The Mother-In-Law is out now and she has released 4 other singles from the EP. The full record featuring the single "You're Such An Asshole" will be released May 29, 2025.

Kelli created The MomCore Show to showcase both her music and its comic underpinnings. Alternating between Kelli’s performance of her rock and roll compositions accompanied by her band, some of the city’s top comics use the proceeding song’s subject matter to create comic improvisation. A set of stand up comedy by Eunji Kim & Chelsea Hood opens the show.
The MomCore Show has performed sold out shows at The Annoyance Theatre and at Fitzgerald’s in Berwyn, IL.
