Singer/Songwriter Kelley McRae with Beau Jennings November 14, 2009

Kelley Mcrae, an artist living in brooklyn, made her cd debut in 2006 with the album never be. the album received rave reviews, including four stars in paste magazine and her performance on wnyc's 'soundcheck' was named one of the year's best. the album also led her to reunite with an old friend, director lear debessonet, who called on her to write and perform the music for brecht's "saint joan of the stockyards" at legendary nyc theater, ps 122. the show received a glowing review in the ny times. these successes, along with the stand-out track "johnny cash," put her on the map— at least the lower manhattan music and theater map. with her forthcoming release, highrises in brooklyn, produced by brian deck (iron and wine, modest mouse, josh ritter, counting crows), she deserves more longitude: at least three more time zones.
