Kyle Harvey
Kyle Harvey is a singer-songwriter living in western Colorado. Having spent some time in the backseat of a van traveling town to town, his timeless lyrics and the heartfelt vulnerability of their delivery have earned him a reputation as a “songwriter's songwriter.”
During his tenure as a mainstay of the 2000’s Omaha music scene, Harvey was nominated for Best Songwriter by the Omaha Entertainment Awards and called “one of the city’s best troubadours” by Spin Magazine. He played in many bands, most notably the indie-rock band It’s True, which National Public Radio called one of the top unsigned bands to see at SXSW. More recently, Harvey was recognized by the Nashville Songwriter Association International as “One to Watch.” In 2024, Harvey co-wrote a song with Evan Westerlund titled, “I Hope You Find Your Gold,” which was selected by NSAI to appear in the Bob Kingsley Top 40 Playlist.
His 2025 album Anywhere But Here stands as a high-water mark: a collection Americana Highways calls, "The most poignant bittersweet songs you can imagine." Restless, yet contemplative, the songs wander through memory and landscape with equal reverence, rich with the details of small-town life—loneliness, longing, dive bars, redemption, love and long drives through open country. His voice, equal parts weathered and tender, carries the quiet conviction of someone who’s lived every word he sings. Backed by an understated acoustic palette and a deep respect for tradition, Harvey’s work is haunted by artists like Neil Young, Guy Clark, Elliott Smith, Steve Earle, and Jackson Browne, yet remains distinctly his own. Rooted in the desert canyons and rivers, as well as the midwestern gravel roads that have shaped his life, Kyle Harvey’s music offers the rare gift of stillness, inviting listeners to slow down and feel the spaces between the notes.
Harvey has been fortunate to share the stage with Gregory Alan Isakov, Bright Eyes, Frank Black (of The Pixies), Steve Poltz, Daniel Johnston, David Rawlings, The Mountain Goats, and many more.
