    Artist description
    "Quirky chord progressions, odd meters, and a unique perspective come through in Adam Kay's songs. ...Kay occasionally delivers his message in the traditional folk troubadour style over a strummed acoustic guitar. However, the dreamy vocal quality and phrasing in some tunes are reminiscent of Pink Floyd, while the mixed meters in other songs combine songwriter sensibilities with the grooves of a progressive rock band." Andrew DuBrock | Acoustic Guitar

    Press Reviews
    "...Tarryville Songs provides a striking reminder that the American Dream promised far more than it delivered in the 1930s. With guitar and harmonica, Kay captures the lonely experiences of immigrants and other working-class Americans as they struggled for justice against a broken-down economic system. Echoes of Woody Guthrie can be heard in Kay's compelling performance, not only in the vocals and instrumentation where the past and present meet, but also in the lyrics that put the failure of the American Dream squarely at the feet of politicians and those at the top." Gregg Andrews, Ph.D. Professor of History, Southwest Texas State University, Asst. Director Institute for the History of Texas Music
