Kevin Morby

Kevin Morby – a singer-songwriter from the Midwest of the USA – navigates the tension between vastness and intimacy, past and future with his music. His new album is characterized by a blend of nostalgic reflection and clear observations of life, inspired by his roots and the places he discovers on his travels. "Little Wide Open" – a typical song title for him and also the name of the upcoming tour – describes the feeling that the future is both open and unpredictable – a reflection of Morby's life between Kansas City and Los Angeles. His lyrics deal with love, loss, and the intense experience of recognizing moments that are fleeting and precious. He tells stories of people, encounters, and moments that shape us, without ever seeming banal – like the meetings with fans who travel long distances to see him live, or reflections on accidents and setbacks on tour.

Morby weaves his experiences into a timeless, poetic perspective. His music combines intimate songwriting with universal themes that bring listeners right into life: the small and large losses, the beauty of fleeting moments, the longing for connection. His voice remains honest, direct, and warm, and his arrangements create a balance between simplicity and narrative depth.

His art is marked by a deep observational skill and a sensitivity to detail – the everyday becomes a poetic image in Morby's work. He tells of people, places, and moments that shape life, showing how intimacy and vastness, closeness and freedom can merge. His music is a space where one can pause, reflect, and find oneself in the stories he tells.

Kevin Morby remains an artist who walks the line between reflection and ecstatic intensity. His music is not just sound, but an invitation: to pause, to think along – and to consciously experience the fleeting, precious moments of life. On July 17, 2026, we will experience this together and live at the Vienna Simm City!
