Memphis Kee knows exactly what they are — and what they’re not. They’re not trend-chasers or opportunists looking for a quick payoff. They’re veterans of a music scene that blends country grit with rock energy. Intricacy and force. Lyricism and feel. Oklahoma and Texas. As more rock-edged Red Dirt makes a resurgence, Memphis Kee has been firmly and confidently planted on the front lines, perfecting this sound — not adopting it. This powerhouse Austin-based quintet has spent the past several years building a loyal fanbase and touring on the strength of the overwhelmingly positive reception to their previous LP, Wimberley. Now, with the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album, they showcase Kee’s powerful vocals and sharply aware songwriting, backed by the band’s technical skill and sonic agility. Memphis Kee is poised to stand out in this compelling new generation of Red Dirt acts.The band’s new album, Dark Skies, showcases the evolution of their sound and perspective. A follow-up to the band’s initial EP, 6th & San Jacinto, and their first full length effort, their widely acclaimed album Wimberley, it is a clear step forward from those releases that came before. Recorded at yellow DOG Studios in San Marcos Texas, Dark Skies was produced by Grammy Award-winner Adam Odor, engineered by Casey Johns and Ethan Lugbauer, mixed by Kevin Szymanski, and mastered by Eric Conn. The band’s line-up includes Memphis  Kee (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Spencer Carlson (lead guitar, harp, vocals), Paul Pinon (drums), Joey Sisk (bass), Chris Loyd (keys, guitar, vocals) and Jake Waylon (second guitar, keys, organ, harmonica, mandolin, and harmony vocals). Jamie Lin Wilson lends co-lead, background vocals and a co-write to the song “Bewitched.”  Kee explains that the The Dark Skies concept is essentially twofold — one negative and one positive. “Things are very ominous in the world lately, things seem uncertain, and it's been hard on a lot of people,” he continues. “So I think that's part of the shift in tone and the subject matter.  But, there’s a brighter side.  My seven-year-old daughter McKinley and I share a deep connection  through our love of space.. If you listen to the record, you’ll see there's some sort of celestial or skyward reference in every song. Some are literal or figurative, and some are deeper, talking about time moving forward at different speeds.”   This event is 21 and over.
