K.C. McKanzie is a songwriter of the rarest kind.
Joyful melancholy, intense lightness - seemingly incompatible extremes blend together effortlessly in her music.
K.C. McKanzie does her very own brand of Americana and Folk. A bittersweet Old-Time-flavour combines with a contemporary touch of rootsy rhythms.
On her 4th album "DryLand" K.C. McKanzie (voc, guit, banjo) and her partner in crime Budi (bs, banjo, dr, p) present a multitude of melodies, supplemented now and then with cello or piano. The simple acoustic instrumentation gives an unpretentious but very intense sound.
K.C. McKanzie's soft voice leads wistfully and clear through the haunting but passionate lyrics. Love and despair, longing and lust are put expressively into powerful symbols by using dry, simple writing.
Subtle arrangements with plenty of detail create a timeless yet intimate mood.
K.C. McKanzie's songwriting is complex and stripped bare, it sparkles with energy.
