Sunday September 10 2023 Kray Van Kirk

23 09 10 Kray Van Kirk pA fine finger-style guitarist with a precise baritone, Van Kirk has a Ph.D. from the University of Alaska. After 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 he liked writing songs more than statistical models, and he put aside his computer, picked up his guitar, and set out again. He’s not your average crying-in-your-coffee singer-songwriter. "We are driven by myth and the seasons of the heart” he says. “Science comes later.”

Kray Van Kirk played at Lucky Penny on Sunday, September 10, 2023!
