KACY & CLAYTON
City Hall, St Davids, Pembrokeshire
Fri 7 Feb
Following previous records Strange Country and The Siren’s Song, Kacy & Clayton are bringing their new album, Carrying On, to St Davids. Released in October 2019, Carrying On is influenced by Bobbie Gentry’s The Delta Sweete, Hoyt Axton’s My Griffin Is Gone, Cajun fiddle music, and the steel guitar of Ralph Mooney, combining psychedelic folk, English folk revival and the traditional music of Southern Appalachia.
The new album was created and perfected over the last two years on the duo’s almost non-stop tour, telling stories about life in the small Canadian village of Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan, where they both grew up. Conveying an acknowledgement that their music takes them far from home, Carrying On is influenced both by a community where playing music is a constant part of daily life, and the country, blues, and English folk-rock the duo collect.
After touring the UK and Europe in 2018 supporting fellow Canadian folkies Deep Dark Woods, Kacy & Clayton are now embarking on their own tour for 2020, promising “This album has, by far, the most intense and confident performances we’ve ever done on record and I hope that intensity will be felt by the listener.”
