Kevin Morby

Compsositor, guitarist and singer Kevin Morby was born on April 2, 1988 in Lubbock, Texas, USA, and began playing in a band called Creepy Aliens in his early years. After graduating, he moved to Kansas City and then to Booklyn, New York, where he settled and worked as a waiter. In 2010, he joined the noisy folk-rock band Woods on bass, with whom he recorded three albums, before joining The Babies at the request of his roommate Cassie Ramone (lead singer of Vivian Girls). On guitar and vocals, he took part in the group's two albums alongside those of Woods. In 2013, now a resident of Los Angeles, Kevin Morby recruited new musicians and launched his own career with the album Harlem River, featuring a duet with Cate Le Bon and the participation of Tim Presley aka White Fence, on bass and harmonica. Two further albums received critical acclaim: Still Life, released in 2014 on the same Woodsist Records label, then Singing Saw, distributed by Dead Oceans two years later, whose success carried through to the sales charts in Belgium and France. His fourth album, City Music (2017), was recorded with his touring band, before a collaboration with Waxahatchee on a Velvet Underground cover, "After Hours", and two tracks in tribute to Jason Molina. Kevin Morby continues with the album Oh My God (2019), which reaches #2 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart, then Sundowner (2020), This Is a Photograph (2022) and the soundtrack to the film Montana Story (2023), followed by More Photographs (A Continuum) (2023) and Little Wide Open (2026).
