Event Description

Cat Clyde is a singer/songwriter based out of rural Ontario, Canada. A combination of driven, soulful blues and sweet, folk-tinged, dulcet tones that carry a particular sense of familiarity provide the structure on which she creates her unique sound. With influences ranging from Patsy Cline and Lead Belly to Karen Dalton and Bobbie Gentry, this patchwork of musical significance, when stitched to her modern approach, fits like a well-tailored, corduroy-road cloth

Cat's latest album Down Rounder is a wonder of deeply felt songwriting, a record that finds her marveling at what’s around her while considering her own place within it all. 

Cat joined producer Tony Berg in Los Angeles’ famed Sound City studios to lay down the entirety of Down Rounder in six days flat. The record sounds both lively and lived-in, with Clyde’s malleable singing voice—spanning an appealing twang to a lovely, plaintive croon and anywhere in between—espousing an essential connection between our spiritual center and the natural world that surrounds us.

"The album is an exploration and expression of self, patterns in the natural and unnatural world, connecting to nature, the turning wheel of life, shedding old selves, embracing new selves, and the ever changing, expanding and contracting nature of love and life,” Cat explains. 

Down Rounder sounds like the work of someone who’s found themselves artistically and holistically, while extending a hand to any listener who wants to follow Clyde on her singular and thrilling path.


Libby DeCamp is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Detroit, MI. Her songs evoke the spirit of roots music from bygone eras, drawing inspiration from prewar blues, old-time string bands, beat generation poetics, early R&B, and country western. With one foot in the past and an eye on the future, Libby is a writer who tugs at the ageless thread of truth-telling, social justice, and communal spirit through song, and tramps into continuous new territories- even at times bordering the mystical and psychedelic. Her sharp lyrical edge and sweet, bluesy, un-prettied voice come from the gut and create something delightfully rare- whether solo with guitar in hand, or in the full picture of her band’s unique string and groove-centered alchemy.
