A fine finger-style guitarist with a precise baritone, Kray Van Kirk has a Ph.D. from the University of Alaska, but he set science aside to write songs, tell stories and summon heroes. “We are driven by myth and the seasons of the heart,” he says, “and the stories are all true. There is a dark cave inside each of us, and monsters of all kinds lurk there, all the more lethal for being hidden. The quest is to journey inside, render the monsters powerless, find whatever it is that burns at the core of your soul and bring it back into the light. In a world divided it is critical to write songs and tell stories that show absolutely everyone they get to be the hero. Nobody is left behind.” Of this charming, Quixotic, and decidedly eclectic performer, the Borderline Folk Club in New York wrote, “It is what every singer-songwriter should aspire to.”

Come see Rachael Kilgour on Sunday, May 24, 2026, at 2:00 pm at the Lansing Area Performance Hall (1004 Auburn Road, North Lansing, NY)! as part of WVBR's Bound for Glory's Live monthly concert series.
“...a heartfelt slice of master crafted indie folk brimming with the battle-tested capacity to endure the worst in others.”—Billboard
Canadian-American songwriter Rachael Kilgour is a 2025 Mcknight Music Fellow, a winner of the NewSong Music Competition (2015) and Kerrville New Folk Contest (2017), and has been featured at NYC’s Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center in Washington DC.
Her oft-noted “unapologetic lyrics” (Rolling Stone) and “master crafted indie folk” sensibilities (Billboard) are on full display in her heartfelt release, My Father Loved Me, a collection of her delicately woven songs. The album was recorded in her late father’s native Ontario and was produced by JUNO-award winning and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Rose Cousins.
In the spare and often gutting language for which she is known, Kilgour gives us a complex portrait of a man seen through his daughter’s eyes. The record poses questions about belonging, inheritance, and grief and triumphantly affirms the value of one ordinary working man’s life.
On stage Kilgour expertly balances her poignant, literate songs with her quick wit, landing somewhere between a comedy special and a funeral. Listeners can expect to laugh, weep, and reflect on their own relationships with fatherhood, mortality, and grief.
Come join us for Bound for Glory’s monthly live shows on the fourth Sunday of each month at 2 pm in the Lansing Area Performance Hall at 1004 Auburn Road (Route 34), North Lansing, NY.
