Stage 33 Live presents Kray Van Kirk with John Fealy on Sunday May, 17th at 3:00PM. A fine fingerstyle guitarist with a precise baritone roaming from Alaska, Kray Van Kirk set his Ph.D. in fisheries population dynamics modeling aside to write songs, tell stories, and summon heroes. Van Kirk is not the average crying-in-your-coffee singer-songwriter… he’s a charming, Quixotic, decidedly eclectic character.

His song Thunderbird resurrects the Phoenix in an empty desert diner in the American Southwest… 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… The Midnight Commander celebrates an insane old man leading the city of New York to take up arms (and underwear) against hatred. Kray’s newest album, Empire, was released in February.

John Fealy is a Vermont folk singer, and his acoustic music — made on finger-style steel string guitar, banjo, ukulele, and piano — is rooted deep in his heart and aims to share his love of humanity, nature, and the greater forces of life. He’s a father, husband, and a dedicated street outreach worker. And also the lead singer of the band Ox Child.
