TURNSTYLED JUNKPILED MAGAZINEBRENT KIRBYOne of the Plain Dealers 25 Acts to WatchBrent Kirby is a nights stroll with a rock n roll romantic. This does not mean Kirbys merely a smitten troubadour, or a bard for the wayward but colorful life of musicians. Though his own songs bring up those immortal topics, Kirbys romanticism is much bigger than that. His songs start with the introspective stir of strum and voice, but just like his performances, quickly move outward and embrace the listener.
