Jake McKelvie
New York
It just slyly worms its way into your brain.
— No Depression
Jake McKelvie has traveled the DIY touring circuit in the US for the last decade, carving out a niche for himself as a songwriter and performer. Known for his off-kilter and whimsical “stream of self-consciousness” lyricism and charming stage demeanor, McKelvie keeps audiences rapt whether as a solo performer or with his punk-leaning outfit, The Countertops. This year, in anticipation of the release of a new solo record, he will embark on a tour of the UK.
He has been featured on WFMU, Daytrotter, No Depression and has shared stages with folk legends like Steve Forbert and Bill Staines as well as contemporary indie acts like Jeffrey Lewis, Jeff Rosenstock and Eef Barzelay.
