Kevin Morby

Kevin Morby plays the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on May 18, 2026, with songs that land between folk, lean rock and a plain‑spoken Americana. First known on bass with Woods and as cofounder of The Babies in Brooklyn, he’s spent the last decade carving his own path as a solo writer, from the river drift of Harlem River and the spare Still Life to the open‑sky tones of Singing Saw and the streetlit currents of City Music. Oh My God brought spiritual questioning into tight arrangements; Sundowner stripped things back to a Midwestern hush; This Is a Photograph and its companion piece circled memory, family threads and small American scenes with unhurried detail. On stage, Morby moves easily from solo intimacy to a band’s pulse, with steady baritone, fingerpicked guitars and melodies that breathe. The set tends to weave older cuts with recent material, shifting from quiet ballads to rougher corners without overplaying the contrast, letting the stories and the groove do the work.
