KRAY VAN KIRK
Live in the Radio Room
7:00pm-10:00pm, The Radio Room 1310 Ute Avenue Grand Junction, CO 81501
KAFM Presents Kray Van Kirk in The Radio Room
Kray Van Kirk left a career in the sciences to write songs in which everyone, of any identity or
more...0
history or creed, can know that they are on the Hero’s Journey. A fine finger-style guitarist with a precise baritone and roots in the Celtic tradition, Van Kirk obtained his doctorate in quantitative modeling from the University of Alaska. Coming off five years of living in his van and playing music across the US and Canada, he thought that a career in the sciences might be a bit more secure than playing music for a living, especially as a single parent. Eventually, however, he realized that healing the world was primarily a matter of the heart, not the head, and he put aside his computer, picked up his guitar, and set out again.
Of this charming, Quixotic, and decidedly eclectic performer, the Borderline Folk Club in New York wrote “it is what every singer-songwriter should aspire to.”
