May 24, KBCO Presents Memphis Kee - Memorial Day Weekend

Grab your boots and join us for Memorial Day Weekend boot scootin'!

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. 

Raised in Memphis, TN, Kee taught himself bass while attending the University of Memphis, where he co-founded the band Rambus. A 2002 South by Southwest performance brought him to Austin, now his home, and inspired his debut EP, 6th and San Jacinto.

“When you keep pushing forward, time has a way of honing things. And it has done that with us. For the first time, Memphis Kee is five musicians moving in the same direction at the same speed. We've passed the point of figuring out who we are. With this record, we hope that now is the time that everyone else finds that out as well.”
