SUMMARY:Kray Van Kirk
DESCRIPTION:Join us after your day at Fire in the Shire for the lovely voice and lyrically driven Kray van Kirk!\n\nSaturday\, June 6 • 7pm\nTickets:\nAdults: $15/$18\nYouth 11-17: 1/2 price\nKids 10&under ALWAYS FREE\n\nFolk Americana with Celtic roots\, aimed at new stories and new myths for the 21st century so that absolutely everyone\, of all identities and histories\, can know they have a verse in the shouted poetry of dawn. \n—————————————————————————————————————————–\n\n\nThe room was almost empty after Van Kirk’s show at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh\, Scotland. A man with shirt-sleeves rolled up in the August heat walked over to him and stood hesitantly for a moment before thrusting out his hand. \n“I use to sing for my wife in the evenings\, but she has dementia now and doesn’t remember me. That song about the lost lovers and the dance hall…” \nHe stopped for a moment before his Scottish reserve reasserted itself. \n“I really liked that one.” \nA fine finger-style guitarist with a precise baritone\, Kray Van Kirk has a Ph.D. from the University of Alaska\, but he set science aside to write songs\, tell stories and summon heroes. \n“We are driven by myth and the seasons of the heart\,” he says\, “and the stories are all true. There is a dark cave inside each of us\, and monsters of all kinds lurk there\, all the more lethal for being hidden. The quest is to journey inside\, render the monsters powerless\, find whatever it is that burns at the core of your soul and bring it back into the light. In a world divided it is critical to write songs and tell stories that show absolutely everyone they get to be the hero. Nobody is left behind.” \nThus his songs: Thunderbird resurrects the Phoenix in an empty desert diner in the American Southwest (yes\, the Phoenix drives a Thunderbird)\, The Queen of Elfland plucks Thomas the Rhymer from the English-Scottish border in 1250 and drops him and the Queen into a subway car\, The Library Song has Superman moonlighting among the stacks\, Rosa and Hector ride through Sherwood Forest on canes and a wheelchair\, and The Midnight Commander celebrates an insane old man leading the city of New York to take up arms (and underwear) against hatred. \nOf this charming\, Quixotic\, and decidedly eclectic performer\, the Borderline Folk Club in New York wrote “it is what every singer-songwriter should aspire to. \n\n\n\nLIVE CONCERT VIDEO FROM CAFFE LENA w/ Joe Jencks:\nhttps://krayvankirk.com/video\nhttps://krayvankirk.com/video_2\n\nLast release was a live concert CD\, Kray Van Kirk – Live at the Acorn.  Selected as Album of the Month by Transatlantic Conversations on CelticMusicRadio.net – krayvankirk.com/acorn\n\nI’ve a number of shows in MN and WI this coming April\, but nothing closer to you than Minneapolis\, which is a wee bit of a drive for you to come out. :-p\n\n Thanks so much!\n Kray Van Kirk\n\n“what every singer-songwriter should aspire to”\n Borderline Folk Club\, New York\n\n “An enviable body of songs.. an intelligent and gifted writer.”\n Bob Leslie\, Transatlantic Conversations\n CelticMusicRadio.net\n\n “The singer-songwriter\, in his Edinburgh debut\, was not the reason I arrived early but was certainly why I stayed late”\nDaily Fringe Review\, Edinburgh\, Scotland\n\n“Every time I play cuts off The Midnight Commander\, listeners ask ‘Who’s that?’ It’s Kray Van Kirk and there’s none like him.”\n Auntmama\n‘Sunday Folks’ DJ\, KBCS\n Seattle\, WA
