PRESS RELEASE   

Scott Kirby Outdoor Performance in Green Lake

Green Lake, Wis. (June 13, 2022) – Singer, songwriter, guitarist, storyteller, sailor, and road warrior are all words that aptly describe Scott Kirby. Kirby will play on Thursday, June 30, at the Havey Lot (475 Lake Street, Green Lake) at 7:00 p.m., Writing songs for a new CD, performing 150 live shows a year throughout the US and Canada, and holding down the stage at his club—Key West’s Smokin’ Tuna Saloon—keep the barnacles off this modern-day troubadour.

A creative lyricist and accomplished finger-style acoustic guitarist with an expressive voice, Kirby describes himself as a direct descendent of the ’70s singer/songwriter movement.  When it comes to songwriting, Kirby respects authenticity and counts on everyday life and his coastal roots for much of his inspiration. “I don’t wake up every day thinking about writing the next commercial hit,” says Kirby. “Songwriting for me is about telling stories, expressing emotions, and commentary on things I may find funny or absurd.” Over the years, Kirby has shared the stage with some of his favorite artists: Carole King, Jimmy Buffett, Livingston Taylor, Tom Rush, Mac McAnally, Peter Mayer, and others. When not on the road or performing in Key West, Kirby splits his time between Livingston, Montana, and the coast of New Hampshire, where he can often be found sailing, a lifelong passion of this descendent of Newfoundland fishers.

Audience members should bring their own lawn chairs; we ask for no beverage carry-ins, as a bar and cocktails will be available.

This event is generously underwritten by Mike and Jill Havey and Havey Communications.

Tickets for the Scott Kirby performance on June 30 at 7:00 p.m. are $25 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279
