Kyle Harvey is a singer-songwriter living in western Colorado. Having spent some time in the backseat of a van traveling town to town, his timeless lyrics and the heartfelt vulnerability of their delivery have earned him a reputation as a “songwriter's songwriter.” 

​

During his tenure as a mainstay of the 2000’s Omaha music scene, Harvey was nominated for Best Songwriter by the Omaha Entertainment Awards and called “one of the city’s best troubadours” by Spin Magazine. He played in many bands, most notably the indie-rock band It’s True, which National Public Radio called one of the top unsigned bands to see at SXSW. More recently, Harvey was recognized by the Nashville Songwriter Association International as “One to Watch.” In 2024, Harvey co-wrote a song with Evan Westerlund titled, “I Hope You Find Your Gold,” which was selected by NSAI to appear in the Bob Kingsley Top 40 Playlist. 

​

Solo and with various bands, Harvey has been fortunate to share the stage with Gregory Alan Isakov, David Rawlings, Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes, Darrel Scott, Daniel Johnston, The Mountain Goats, David Bazan (of Pedro the Lion), The Old 97’s, Spoon, Frank Black (of The Pixies), Ben Kweller, Jeremy Messersmith, Noel McKay,  Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Mason Jennings, Art Alexakis (of Everclear), Charlie Parr, Willy Tea Taylor and many more.

 

As a poet, Harvey was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award and winner of the Mark Fischer Poetry Prize. His most recent collection of poems, There Without Being There, was published in March 2025. His most recent documentary film, It’s Nice To Be With You Always, premiered at the Omaha Film Festival in 2020. He lives with his wife and children in Fruita, Colorado, where he designs books for Lithic Press.
