Search - Richie Kaye :: Fire and Fall Back

Richie Kaye is a singer-songwriter-guitarist following a tradition that stretches back to the troubadours. One man, one guitar, one voice. Compared by one critic to the Fado Portoghese, but clearly American in tone, he writes and performs original music based on his awareness -- with all its faults -- of the True and Real in the style of the Here and Now.
The music on he plays is youthful in spirit, expressing a tragicomic vitality within a strange and subtle harmoniousness. It is American music for the new century: educated rock n roll with a solo 6-string.
Indeed, the melodies he has discovered are always singable, creating eerie harmonies floating over unusual chord changes that still seem somehow familiar. The lyrics he hears convey an exquisite poesy intended to reflect a soulful intelligence greater than man.
One man, one guitar, one Voice.
