BELLOWS FALLS-Eclectic Alaskan finger-style guitarist Kray Van Kirk appears at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge St., Sunday, May 17, in a 3 p.m. matinee.
Van Kirk set aside his Ph.D. in fisheries population dynamics modeling to write songs and tell stories. “We are driven by myth and the seasons of the heart,” he says on his website, “and the stories are all true. The quest is to journey inside, find what burns at the core of your soul, and bring it back into the light. Everyone gets to be the hero. Nobody is left behind.” Kray’s newest album, Empire, was released in February.
John Fealy will open the show. He 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,” wrote event promoters in a news release. He’s a father, husband, and a street outreach worker. He is also the lead singer of the band Ox Child.
Tickets are $15 in advance through stage33live.com, or $20 (cash) at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold. Advance sales will close at midnight the day before the show, or when 40 tickets have been sold.
