Nolan McKelvey is proud to release How Small We Are, his 22nd release as a Songwriter. This album is the follow up to his critically acclaimed 2023 album, Forward.
Forward received dozens of glowing reviews from Europe, and Nolan continues to partner with Hemifran for European distribution. How Small We Are builds on the momentum of Forward about which Americana Highways wrote, “His voice is inspired and his reliance on poignancy is admirable.” Rootstime “compared him to singer-songwriters such as David Gray, Ryan Adams, and Damien Rice.” Blaskans Vanner stated, “Somehow these songs glide away towards the forest and meadows of beauty.” Since the release of Forward, Nolan was recognized as one of 15 distinguished artists from the Lansing, Michigan area by his hometown paper, the Lansing State Journal. He’s been dubbed, “Central to the [Boston] roots-rock revival” by WBUR Radio, “Flagstaff’s Poet Laureate,” and “One of the best songwriters in the southwest” by FlagLive. At home, Phoenix New Times called his music “relaxing” and “wistful” with an emphasis on the lyrics and songwriting. Nolan has performed and recorded with a multitude of esteemed musicians as a bass player and harmony singer including Levon Helm (The Band), Dana Colley (Morphine), Jesse Valenzuela (Gin Blossoms), Mark Zubia (Pistoleros), Kris Delmhorst, Mark Erelli, Bow Thayer, and many more.
