KAY MIRACLE began her singer/ songwriting journey at the knee of her grandfather Claude Wood, who performed upright bass for musical luminaires as Hank Williams and Doris Day. Seeing Kay as a “chip off of the old block”, Claude bought her an acoustic guitar on which Kay began her career performing at state fairs, talent contests and local TV shows around the West Coast.
By the time Kay was 22, she was selected to tour overseas with the Pacific Air Force and USO military tours, entertaining troops stationed in the Far East and other points across the globe for 7 years. While in Japan, Kay met and joined Syracuse based alternative country band Reckless Drivin’ and relocated to Syracuse, NY.
As Reckless Drivin’ lead singer, rhythm guitarist and songwriter, Kay earned 5 SAMMY’s (Syracuse Area Music Awards) and 2 personally for “Best Country Vocalist”. Today Kay performs as a solo artist and showcases her original songs with her Americana band Kay & the Miracle Cure. Kay presently has two personal CDs which air on Woman of Substance Radio, TeXchromosome Radio and its affiliates, Highway Woman with Brigitte London, Reverbnation, Song Ladder, Lady Lake Productions and the Rebel 105.9 Soundcheck.
Kay showcases her original songs at the “TeXchromosome” music series during SXSW in Austin, Texas, Last Honky Tonk songwriter tours from Nashville to Louisiana, the “Stage of Nations Blue Rain EcoFest” as a Native American artist, the Tucson Folk Festival, and the “Tumbleweed Music Festival” in her native Washington State. Kay took 2nd place for her Americana song “8 Ball” in the SAW international songwriter contest in Washington D. C. She volunteers her musical talent working with disabled students, Veteran programs, and has written and performed original tunes for the American Cancer Society “Relay for Life” ceremonies. Kay is also the founder of The Americana Historical Songwriter series in which a historical landmark or museum is paired with a local songwriter in which old roots meet new in a televised series.
In 2021, Kay completed her certification as a Creative Facilitator to use her songwriting to help heal trauma. She also founded her signature program “Blood to Ink" to work with Veterans through songwriting and assisting teens and seniors to find their authentic voice by telling their unique story through song. Kay’s exceptional talent and vision captures her view of American life in song. She delivers her message with driving guitar, roots laden vocals and a strong lyrical hook. With a portfolio of over 300 original songs, Kay is currently recording for studios in New York and Washington State with original songs from the road.
