H & K Featuring
Heather Kelly
Interview / Songs
1. Hurt
2. Better
Day
H&K is a power trio from Otho Iowa.  The band started as the duo of Heather Kelly and Kirk Kaufman, who has quite the
background in Iowa music.  Kirk was in The Hawks, and owns Juniors Motel in Otho.  Now they are three artists with
diverse musical backgrounds and they’ve been creating a style all of they’re own.  At one point Kirk even called it
“Medieval Pop”.   Download the interview to find out more…

For having put out albums on vinyl himself with The Hawks, Kirk didn’t bring any down!  They all promised they had sweet
records at home, but on this night the music was up to me.  I did have a couple of albums from artists who have recorded
at Juniors Motel in the past 35 years, Slipknot and Brian Wilson.  Here is what we played…

Slipknot – All Home Is Gone
Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The National – Alligator
Cat Stevens – Teaser and the Firecat
Bob Dylan – Together Through Life
Elton John – Madman Across The Water
Beach Boys – Pet Sounds
Dirty Three – Cinder

H&K just released their debut album, “Catch a Rainbow” in April, but are ready to begin recording the follow up.  They will
be playing the AE Stage at the Iowa State Fair this year, head over to their
website for more information and music links.  
Also grab the two songs we recorded at Sonic Factory with Skyler.  Heather had Laryngitis especially for the show, but
some how managed to nail it.
