This is music for running away from home and leaving everything you own in the yard. Sweet, kind of quiet, but not at all meek. Sexy, strange little stories, a curious conversational voice and great pop songs.

Album news: TIRED was featured in the fourth season "Felicity" DVD!
McKinley grew up in Anchorage, Alaska where she spent a lot of time pretending she was a cowboy or a secret agent. She then went to a girl's Catholic high school in California where she learned "Hail Mary" in Spanish and how to gracefully scale a chain link fence without snagging her pleated skirt.
She was sent to college with instructions from her parents to get a degree in mechanical engineering in four years, which she did. While there, she began playing bass and singing in a band.
A few weeks after she graduated, the world seemed to be on fire: Her step dad died in one, another burned through stores on the street where she lived, and too many friends were in trouble, dying, or at least drunk enough to look dead, so she left the country.
McKinley lived in London for almost a year, and then rode a bicycle alone through Israel, mumbling and humming to herself in the same desert that made those prophets that she learned about in Catholic school come undone. She picked up a copy of Franny and Zooey in a Tel Aviv bookstore and stayed up all night reading it in a scary hotel.
On the porch of that hotel in her underwear, she decided she would make something out of the humming in her head. She bought a ticket to Seattle and began writing her first songs there in a tiny apartment with no furniture. She came to Portland next because it seemed like the right size.
In Portland, McKinley gathered the musicians and momentum she needed to record her first six-song EP. A local label, Burnside Records, then helped her record six more songs for a full-length CD. These first songs are rich, quiet and spooky. The music editor of the Oregonian dubbed her style "chamber pop" because of the use of violin, cello, and orchestral percussion in virtually every song and because of the close-in personal quality of the lyrics and recordings.
She is now playing with a band called Dirty Martini (www.dirtymartinimusic.com) Check out the web site to see her sassy supermodel pose.
