Originally from Chicago and based in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Kyle Gray Young is a Singer-Songwriter who has released eight solo albums and performed all over the U.S. His songs fall under the Rock and Pop genres with Country and Folk influences, creating a style that has drawn comparisons to artists like John Popper, Jim Croce, and Michael Nesmith. Kyle performed with James Lee Stanley, Matt Brown, Corky Siegel and others in live shows, and he was part of the historic Themestock event in Atlanta with over 50 musicians from around the country.
Kyle Gray Young appeared on stage at Themestock with Matt Brown and Pete McDade (former members of Uncle Green/3 lb. Thrill), as well as Paul Melancon and Christian Nesmith (the latter being the eldest son of former Monkee Michael Nesmith). His song "Muse" has won accolades in several songwriting competitions, and his 7th solo album "Songs For The Moon" has been praised by critics and fans as being one of the best releases of 2010.
A brilliant song that equates a previous attempt at a relationship to a rough draft of a book, "the one you always throw away". Maybe she will get back together with me so we can learn from our mistakes, correct our grammar, and get back on the right track. A pure power-pop gem right here. Male Vocals, Pop, Power Pop
The most tender, beautiful love song you will ever hear. The Fender Rhodes lays down the musical bed of this song that asks "could I be the man of all your dreams?" With lyrics that sing "take my heart, take my soul", this song tugs on the strings of any heart that currently has a beat of any sort. Male Vocals, Pop, Pop Ballad
A very catchy, up-beat song about the way the media blasts us in our faces about how hard the economy is. This song tells them to "shut the hell up" because we know what it's like "livin' in these hard times." Blistering Brad Paisley-like electric guitar licks all over this track. Political spots. Male Vocals, Country, Country Rock
One of those songs where the music doesn't match the lyrics. The lyrics are dark and mildly depressing while the music is upbeat and has a VERY catchy melody. Some great sing-along-with electric guitar melodies as well. Very tasteful use of percussion in addition to the drums, too. Male Vocals, Pop, Power Pop
This is a love at first sight account, being swept off of one's feet by just a brief encounter. Fender Rhodes electric piano sets the romantic mood beautifully. All of the things that run through your mind when you become completely infatuated with someone. Male Vocals, Pop, Pop Ballad
A song about two jaded people with similar pasts, very anti-love and anti-relationships. Maybe their past heartaches will be what makes them ready for the real thing this time? This song features one of the most memorable guitar solos you'll ever hear, one you can really sing along with. Male Vocals, Rock, Acoustic Rock
A quirky sort of rockabilly song where 1950s Carl Perkins meets modern day bluesy electric guitar. The lyrics sing about looking forward to a brighter future with a vital sense of humor that any life cannot lack. The drums and bass chug along a train track with great determination! Male Vocals, Rock, 50s Rock
A lilting waltz-time acoustic driven ballad about feeling lonesome. Nature imagery is abound in the lyrics. It speaks of the moon being the only friend the singer has. Several beautifully orchestrated acoustic guitars are augmented by acoustic piano, electric guitar riffs, and conga drums. Male Vocals, Rock, Folk Rock
When someone you're interested in is saying one thing but you know deep down in their heart they mean a completely different thing, you can see it in their eyes. In a brisk, waltzy 3/4 signature, this acoustic-driven track has lyrics that prove that some people might not say exactly what they want. Male Vocals, Rock, Acoustic Rock
A song about trying to persuade a girl to start a relationship with the singer. Without being too pushy, the lyrics sing about love, relationships, and fate. A wonderful arsenal of percussion instruments push the song forward underneath the guitars and keyboards. Male Vocals, Pop, Soft Pop
A song about trying to persuade a girl to start a relationship with the singer. Without being too pushy, the lyrics sing about love, relationships, and fate. The only instrument accompanying the singer is a beautifully played 12-string acoustic guitar. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
A great folk tune in the style of Steve Goodman & Gordon Lightfoot. It describes a scene where you just need to get away. Nothing is working out anymore, people are lying, and you just need a change of scenery. Several acoustic guitars interweave with Kyle's lush vocal blend. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
This one sounds like a great long-lost Eagles tune. The lyrics are very dark and speak of a feeling that it might be too late to pursue your dreams. Maybe you had the ability to do something important in the past but something or someone is preventing you from doing those things in the future. Male Vocals, Americana, Americana
This song is almost bi-polar. While the tempo never changes, the mood and feel can change drastically from section to section. It's almost like a five minute symphony. The contrasting musical elements symbolize the love/hate relationship between the two people. Male Vocals, Pop, Power Pop
A song about a relationship right on the verge of a break up. Accompanied only by Kyle's 6-string acoustic guitar, his voice sings of a last desperate attempt to keep the love alive. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
This song is a desperate, pleading attempt to get a lover to stay with them. Traditional guitar, bass, piano, drums, and vocals. A VERY catchy chorus with a strong lyric. This could (and SHOULD) be a staple on adult contemporary radio for years to come. It's a timeless and universal love song. Male Vocals, Rock, Pop Rock
This is a song about going through all sorts of really hard times and still coming out relatively unscathed in the end. It's just a more interesting interpretation of "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger." A beautifully orchestrated group of acoustic guitars highlights the musical arrangement. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
A terrifying song about the school shootings, suicide bombers, and other idiots in the world that feel the need to terrorize innocent people. Looking towards a brighter future where things like this come to an end. Perfect song for a documentary about topics like this. Male Vocals, Folk, Contemporary Folk
A simple folky love song. Accompanied by only his 6-string acoustic, Kyle's voice sings of missing a lover who is far away. This song has been a staple of Kyle's live shows for over a decade. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
Forgoing the traditional drum set, this song utilizes different percussion instruments from different continents to create a whole new sound. It features Fender Rhodes prominently with a real Moog synthesizer line along with acoustic and electric guitars. The lyrics sing of an unattainable goddess. Male Vocals, Rock, Psychedelic Rock
A solo acoustic/vocal piece about a strange dream. Going to a smoky cafe/bar in the middle of the night. Very jazzy, bluesy, and full of ethereal lyrics. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
The title of this song quite accurately describes how gorgeous it really is. This song just has voice and 12-string acoustic guitar. It sings of the undying beauty and love of a special girl. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
The title of this song quite accurately describes how gorgeous it really is. This version has a few beautifully orchestrated 6-string acoustic guitars as well as a phenomenally arranged set of vocals. It sings of the undying beauty and love of a special girl. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
A song written about someone who is deeply troubled and depressed. The singer may have been in love with this person at one point but just doesn't care anymore about trying to help. The song drifts back and forth between 5/4 and 4/4 time to great effect. The song ends in a swirl of chaotic reverb. Male Vocals, Rock, Soft Rock
This is a crossover from jazz to country/western swing. Beautiful vocal harmonies on top of this 3/4 jazz waltz. The lyrics sing of a relationship that seems to be a bit one-sided. Not the sweetest of love songs, that's for sure. But not all love-related situations are all that sweet! Male Vocals, Country, Western Swing
Slightly bubblegum with a blazing electric guitar lead. Insanely catchy melody with lyrics that sing of an undying and unconditional love with great fun. Notice the Mississippi John Hurt lyrical reference, how many power pop tunes do something that clever? Male Vocals, Pop, Power Pop
A simple 12-string acoustic guitar folk song in the style of Tom Paxton and other 1950s folkies. The singer wonders if a former lover will ever get back with him and if he'll ever be good enough for her again. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
Single melody line at the beginning. Based on a traditional Finnish folk tune. Clean electric guitar plays the melody with electric piano. Melancholy yet hopeful. Perfect leitmotif style piece. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
A haunting 3/4 waltz time tune with a doomy atmosphere. I used my own banjo samples in a Decent Sampler instrument to play the melody along with spitfire’s soft piano and some guitars. A lovely picardy ending awaits. This mix has my own RC-20 patch added to give it a vintage monaural/mono sound,, Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
A beautiful Baroque-inspired arrangement of this holiday classic, known in the English-speaking world as "O Come All Ye Faithful". Featuring a full church pipe organ complete with foot pedals for the bass line. Instrumental, Christmas, Christmas Organ
A song about a road trip that went wrong. The trip starts out in North Sioux City, SD, travels through Sioux City, IA along Highway 20 in an attempt to get back home to Chicago. Acoustic guitar and Fender Rhodes are the two prominent instruments behind the ethereal vocals. Male Vocals, Folk, Contemporary Folk
Slow brooding cellos backup the beautiful classical guitar melodies. Lots of acoustic and electronic instruments, minor key, very moody and dark. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
Slow, sorrowful, and melancholy melody. Sounds like a sad Celtic jig. Classical/nylon string guitar, electric guitar, flutes, synthesizers, cellos. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
Instrumental, traditional public domain Finnish folk tune called Kalevan Ystävä. Reharmonized and recorded with piano, classical/nylon string guitar, electric guitars, flutes, and synthesizers. Very uplifting, positive, major key tune. Dreamy synths. Jangly clean electric guitars. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
Beautiful, slow melody from the western town of Finland called Kokkola. The melody is short and gets repeated several times throughout in different octaves and by different instruments. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
A very dark song about contemplating suicide, yet without coming right out and saying it. The singer has just been on the receiving end of a breakup. The ending builds up some chaotic reverb that just melts into nothingness. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indie Rock
A song about a girl who thought she knew everything about love and life but was so completely wrong. Several well-orchestrated acoustic guitars are the only instruments aside from the intricate vocal arrangement. This song was featured on an indie Beach Boys tribute compilation in 2005. Male Vocals, Folk, Contemporary Folk
Haunting, melancholy melody played by several nylon stringed guitars. Swirling synthesizer pads shimmer around. The melody plays through three times in different octaves. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
This track features a sound effect of an old cylinder or 78 recording. Just two acoustic guitars and a vocal. It's not supposed to be an exact imitation of an old recording, just a tribute to the way music used to sound. Male Vocals, Americana, Americana
A very fun and playful lilt of a tune. Lovely clean electric guitar playing the melody most of the time along with a fender Rhodes electric piano. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
A very baroque sounding folk tune in 3/4 time. If Bach wrote folk music, it might sound like this. Four distinct sections and each one repeats twice. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
Beautiful, uplifting, and mellow arrangement of the State Anthem Of Ukraine. A soft piano, cellos, synthesizers, and acoustic guitars fill out this ensemble. Instrumental, National Anthem, Ukraine National Anthem
This could be at home in any holiday/winter/christmas compilation or playlist. Based on a traditional Finnish folk tune. The melody plays through twice. Both times it starts sounding in a major key and ends in a more melancholy minor key. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
A sprightly 3/4 waltz-time tune. The melody is shared among guitars and a synthesizer with a delay effect that gives it the sound of a tremolo marimba. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
A very catchy straightforward pop tune about a brand new romance. The lyrics sing of waiting forever for the perfect girl, and here she is! A retro-sounding groove with organ and electric piano mix beautifully with the acoustic and electric guitars. Male Vocals, Rock, Pop Rock
A slightly jazzy tune about a new romance. Sparse drums mixed with some light percussion keep this moving. Acoustic and electric guitars, Fender Rhodes, and an interesting horn section make it sound like it could be a long lost Chicago song from the 70s. Male Vocals, Pop, Pop Ballad
Heartwrenching, sad, melancholy, depressing, and beautiful melody. Briefly visits the Dorian mode in some sections. Lovely clean fender telecaster electric guitar delivering the melody along with some swelling cellos and soft pianos. Instrumental, Folk, European Folk
