Kavalier & Clay

About Me

Kavalier & Clay is a solo music project by me...Ty McCottry. What began as an innocent curiosity to ease boredom through learning an instrument and recording sounds has become the main palette to alleviate my mind of internal dialogue. I don't continue to write songs to entertain...I only write when my mood or insomnia or inquisitive nature forces me, compels me.

Good Company

Palette Cleansing...One by One

Each move has been for a reason, I'd like to think.  Each person I've roped into dropping his/her life and going on a misadventure has left indelible marks on my skin.  And now I'm on my way to anothe...
