Kirk Kelly (born Kirk P. Kelly on Long Island circa 1960) is an American folk singer, songwriter and labor activist from New York City. In the mid-1980s Kelly and a group of like-minded musicians started calling themselves "anti-folk" and started a small but intense movement. Kelly's music has been infrequently recorded over the years.

Kelly's first solo release, Go Man Go, appeared in 1988 on the punk label, SST .

Kelly's socio-political second album, New City (1997) was released nearly a decade after his first.

In 2003 Kelly's cover of "Downbound Train" was chosen for the Springsteen tribute album, Light of Day. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
