Ky Hote


     Some kids wanted to run away and join the circus, but within me was an inner desire to run away and join the opera. Growing up, I had no idea... I listened to the Beatles and folk music and played at coffeehouses. One of the first concerts I went to before I was 10 was Howling Wolf with Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee. My first visit to Madison Square Garden was to see Bob Dylan on his "comeback" tour of 1974 (no wait, I went to to see the Harlem Globetrotters first...) and one of the things that blew me away the most was The Band. It wasn't 'til I went to college (1990 - 1994 Keene State College) that I learned about the intricacies and beauty of classical music. It all came together there. I see music as a storyweaving activist adventure. I believe the senses (not just the brain) have as much to do with our activities as what we think our reasons are.
     I write and sing my songs, but I also enjoy creating events that bring people together and encourage people to play/sing out. The Underground Kerrville Revue and George Harrison Tributes are 2 such long running events.
     I also have in recent years discovered the joy of playing kick*ss rhythm guitar. I've found that even a 2 chord pattern can be played with the slightest emotional inflection changed each verse so as to tell the story.

   About Ky Hote
    A brand new instrument is taken from the case and tried
    Every morning I wake up and wonder 'who am I?'


    Ky Hote is a multi-talented artist.

    His fields include guitar playing, songwriting and other composition work, website design, teaching and sound production. His degree in Music Composition is offset by his many years of hobo-ing around North America. Austin, Texas is his found home, though he has been found playing music throughout the United States, up through Canada and into Alaska. Immortilized by Michelle Shocked's 4/4 Troubador, The Yukon Territory has been a great source of inspiration for him and will be prominently featured in the book he is writing about his travels.



Known as the most dangerous guitar player on the Renaissance circuit, Ky is a working member of 3 bands. Crannog plays traditional Irish music with a serious edge..

Featherstone is a high energy hammer dulcimer duo playing music from the middle ages, through the classical masters and up through celtic and American folk music - even a Ky Hote tune or two.


Gypsy Rox is his latest musical project featuring fiddler Lauren Mahlerox. They're tight arrangements and willingness to improvise bring new light to gypsy, celtic and dance music.

You may find Ky Hote playing at Renaissance Faires from Florida to Colorado in one of these band or as a refreshing solo artist playing guitar tunes.

     He also plays original, instrumental and rockin' music with Owl Morrison as the duo Ky Hote and Owl. He has been affiliated with Barnstormers Recording Studios since 1995 and has been the father of Moses Morrison since 1996. He is the Web Maestro for musicians such as Gretchen Phillips, artists such as eRic Luplow, such venues as BanjoJims in NYC and a mythical mudfaery named Porporina. He has been a volunteer at the Kerrville folk Festival since 1979 and currently hosts the Kerrville History Project and the Kerrville Folk Festival Web Ring.

    In Austin, he has co-hosted with Owl tributes to George Harrison, John Hartford and Yoko Ono as well as the Annual Underground Kerrville Revue (since 1985!) at the Cactus Cafe since 1985. The Austin Chronicle described him as "classical composer/Kerrvert/folk rocker ... (whose) earnest rasp and hard folk style is a refreshing kick in the ass" and he has been noted by musicians such as David Peel, David Amram, Dar Williams and John Hartford for his contributions to our musical heritage.

    Though largely unrecognized by the greater public, his fans are dedicated. His songs have been covered by other artists and he never lacks for a place to crash. Circle Pines Center includes his song "Silent Pauses" as part of their summer camp songbook and his symphonic concert band piece, "Sonata Primera" was chosen as theme music for KSCTV News.
