O'Connor's Vault continues to bring the some of the nation's finest singer-songwriters to their intimate space in Multnomah Village. Friday, January 2, Midwest native, Portland transplant Kelly Brightwell kellybrightwell.com and her band are joined by Alaskan troubadour Kray Van Kirk http://www.krayvankirk.com/ for an evening of songs guaranteed to warm your winter night and make you sit up and listen. Both Kelly and Kray were finalists in The Intermountain Acoustic Music Association Susanne Millsaps Performing Songwriter Showcase.

Check out the quotes:

"Kelly writes songs that are evolved, with themes that are literary, meditative, and explore parallels between our lives and nature. She sings with the smoothness of Sarah Mclachlan, but with a bit more Americana grit and charm." -Rob Stroup, 8 Ball Studio, The Blame
"The music on this album is a living reflection of the warmth, intellect, intensity and light that pours from within her."-Tom D'Antoni, Oregon Music News
"With her new album, "Hearts And Home", Kelly Brightwell has marked a wonderful return to music making and has established her gorgeous voice and stellar songwriting as a true talent in the over-crowded folk and Americana scene." -Justin Kreitzer, Dayton City Paper
"Kray has it all; a sweet and rich tenor voice, superior musicianship on the 6-string as well as the 12-string graphite guitar, cleverly crafted lyrics that are well thought out, and a fantastic rapport with the audience that is peppered with a good-natured sense of humor. It is what all other singer-songwriters should aspire to.-Borderline Folk Club, New York

"The evening's act was Kray Van Kirk, whose 12-string guitar and soaring vocals were spellbinding; the Alaskan singer-songwriter, in his Edinburgh
debut, was not the reason I arrived early, but was certainly why I stayed late."-Daily Fringe Review, Edinburgh, Scotland

Tickets are $8 in advance from http://kellykray.brownpapertickets.com or $12 at the door. Seating is limited. Best bet is early purchase of advance tickets.
