Bio
Jake McKelvie has traveled the DIY touring circuit in the US and UK for over a 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 engaged both as a solo performer or with his newly minted backing band, “the New Old Band". This year will see the release of a new LP and a slew of tour dates to coincide with it.
