He has a Ph.D. in fisheries population dynamics modeling (wow) from the University of Alaska, but he set science aside to write songs, tell stories, and summon heroes. Within those songs and stories are echoes he hopes audiences will hear and realize that THEY are the summoned heroes. With the release of his 6th CD, Empire, in March, he turns to the issues of justice, fury, and renewal in the face of 500 years of Empire in the US.
Here's what people in the know say about Kray:
“Kray Van Kirk is a gifted songwriter whose allegorical weave of contemporary and mythological themes is both remarkable and tremendously relevant. He backs that up with deft guitar work and a voice that embodies power and genuine tenderness. A stellar and meticulous musician, equally rooted in the mind and the heart.” ~ Joe Jencks, singer-songwriter
“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.” ~ Auntmama, 'Sunday Folks' DJ, KBCS Seattle, WA
