Noel McKay was born and raised in Lubbock and the Hill Country of Texas and has traveled the world, singing his songs and playing a self-built acoustic guitar on world stages from Nashville, TN, Austin, TX, California, Ireland, Spain, and the U.K. Noel has co-written songs with David Olney, Guy Clark, Richard Dobson, Becky Warren, John Scott Sherrill, and Shawn Camp, and his songs are being recorded by Sarah Borges, Sunny Sweeney, and Guy. He has released three albums over the years, starting with Is That So Much To Ask (2015), Sketches of South Central Texas (2015), Blue, Blue, Blue (2021), and now the fourth, You Only Live Always, out in 2024.
Noel picked up the guitar around age nine and, by fifteen, was playing the beer joints and honky tonks in Bandera and the surrounding hill country. By the time he was in his early twenties while playing at a festival in Kerrville, TX, he met Guy Clark and formed a mentorship and friendship that still resonates with Noel to this day, long after Clark’s death.
Noel spends time on the road crisscrossing the world playing shows, and when he’s not, he hangs his hat in Nashville, Austin, and or Spain.
