In the first of a series on music, Paul Krauss interviews singer-songwriter Kelley Stoltz. Kelley Stoltz is a prolific artist hailing from San Francisco who is deeply involved in the craft of writing songs and helping others with theirs. Interestingly, Kelley actually plays ALL of the instruments on his songs--having learned to play piano, drums, bass, and synthesizers in addition to his first instrument, the guitar. Kelley has a unique and creative style of song craft and varies the theme of his sound from release to release. In addition to having written a large body of varying styles of rock and folk as well as sincere and existentially significant songs, Kelley has developed an alter-ego in Willie Weird and released two albums of songs, best described as a genre of dark-comedy.

In this interview, Kelley discusses both current events as well as his story that led him into a career in music. This is a story of finding one's calling and then finding a way to do it for a lifetime. Psychological concepts that haphazardly made it into the discussion are risk, discipline, calling, dedication, craftsmanship, traveling, community, friendship, and more.
When he is not writing and recording music Kelley has been known to make his own lunches, assemble his own electric guitars, support other artists, tell jokes, play drums for Sonny and the Sunsets, record local San Francisco bands, and tour as the rhythm guitarist of Echo & the Bunnymen. And this is only PART of the story--so listen to the entire interview! Also discussed: Detroit (where Kelley is originally from), New York, Jeff Buckley, and Touring Europe.
