All music fans with a penchant for strong songwriting, moving vocals and raw roots nerve should pay attention when Cat Clyde approaches the microphone.
From her home in Ontario, the Canadian songwriter creates a sublime synthesis of folk, country and blues, drawing on role models such as Patsy Cline, Lead Belly and Karen Dalton. A rich heritage that Cat Clyde, with her guitar and voice, transforms into an intimate and personal expression that embraces melancholy, vulnerability and warm country twang.
Her amazing and versatile vocals have earned her a dedicated fan base that has grown with each release. Cat Clyde has also grown as a songwriter, as evidenced by her third and excellent album, Down Rounder, from 2023. The album has received rave reviews and showcases her as a highly relevant singer and songwriter on the modern alt-folk scene.
That she is also a dazzling live performer can be confirmed by listening to the 2024 release Live at Rare Bird Farm. Old and new fans of Clyde have something to look forward to in 2026, because not only is she finally releasing a follow-up album to Down Rounder, she is also making her way to the Roskilde Festival, where she will be performing her masterful blues-tinged folk music.
