Kevin Morby is a Kansas City-born musician who started his journey as the bassist for the band Woods. In 2013, Morby embarked on a solo career that saw the release of several critically acclaimed albums, including “City Music” and “Singing Saw.” Morby’s music is often a sweet amalgamation of folk, indie-rock, and Americana with a vintage touch.
Drawing a lot of his influence from the likes of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, Morby’s songwriting is introspective and potent, often contemplating on themes like urban life and solitude. His songs can fluctuate between melancholy storytelling and euphoric, foot-stomping rhythms.
To get a sense of Morby’s style, you may want to listen to “City Music,” a track that pays homage to urban experiences and feels like a gritty, melodious love letter to city life. Another song to note is “Harlem River,” a nine-minute soothing ballad that captures Morby’s dulcet tones and hypnotic songwriting prowess.
