Stacy Kray is singer-songwriter from San Francisco. Her second album, My
Last Eye, was released in April 2007. In August 2007, the track "Someday"
was released on KFOG's Local Scene 4 CD.
http://www.kfog.com/music/local_scene/default.asp Money from the CD goes to support Music In Schools, a Bay Area charity supporting music for kids. www.mustcreate.org As part of KFOG's Local Scene month, Stacy will be performing live on the KFOG Morning Show at the Little Fox Theatre in Redwood City on Friday, August 17th.

My Last Eye features Stacy's original songs, vocals and guitars, with Jon
Evans (Tori Amos) on bass, Todd Roper (Cake, Deathray) on drums, Yair Evnine
(Spencer Day, Rain of Frogs) on lead guitar and cello, and Grammy-nominated
producer and songwriter Bonnie Hayes on keyboards.

The songs on My Last Eye are a continuation of the musical journey Stacy began with Broken Symmetry, her first record. "Every song is strong, with vocals, musicianship and lyrics that feel perfectly balanced, yet have plenty of character. . . The songs are catchy, yet the lyrics tell stories via colorful metaphors that stop short of clever and often take a few listens to fully grasp. Think Dar Williams without the folk, Ani Difranco without the anger, or Tori Amos only less elfin creature from another planet." (Performer Magazine).

Though the songwriting on My Last Eye continues lyrically in same vein as Broken Symmetry, sonically, My Last Eye has a harder edge than the first record, drawing on the energy of the talented musicians who join Stacy on the record. The mood is up front and insistent. Driving tunes like Hot & Cold, Tonight and The One, The Only form the backbone of the record, but quieter songs (like Call Out The Cavalry and So Low) offer contrast and release.

From a production standpoint, My Last Eye, represents a radical departure from the solitary home recordings that formed the basis of Broken Symmetry. For My Last Eye, Stacy entered the production studio for the first time, working with engineer and mixer Mikael Johnston (Mikael Johnston (Smashmouth, the Sounds, Jane's Addiction) who recorded at Diggitydope Studios, a brand new state-of-the-art recording space in Hayward, California. The record was mastered by Emily Lazar and Sarah Register (David Bowie, Garbage, Natalie Merchant).

Stacy's work also appears on a compilation album she produced. They Traded The World, a song about the events of September 11, garnered a West Coast Songwriter's Association award, and inspired Stacy to organize The Canvas Remembers September 11, a benefit concert and CD sponsored and underwitten by Discmakers and CD Baby. The CD includes 14 songs from Bay Area and L.A. songwriters inspired by the events of September 11. All proceeds from CD sales are donated to two charities bringing music therapy and education to children in New York City.
