Triple Crown Whiskey Bar & Raccoon Motel
Appearing through their U.S. tour that finds the Canadian relatives visiting six states in six days, the folk musicians of Kacy & Clayton perform a November 29 Moeller Nights concert in support of The Siren's Song, the recent album that led NoDepression.com to state, “Like something out of a dreamy folktale, second cousins Kacy & Clayton seem to have been beamed down to us from a hazy summer sky.”
Their musical output recalling the early days of the British folk-rock scene, Kacy & Clayton are vocalist Kacy Anderson and guitarist/vocalist Clayton Linthicum – cousins and childhood friends who grew up a few miles from one another in the Saskatchewan community of the Wood Mountain Uplands. In 2009, Anderson and Linthicum discovered they had a mutual interest in vintage folk music, and began learning songs and performing together at a tavern in their hometown. Within a year, they were appearing at regional folk clubs and music festivals, and in 2013, the Kacy & Clayton duo released its first album The Day Is Past & Gone.
With the release's raves including NewCanadianMusic.ca's praise for its “mature and fully developed sound,” Kacy & Clayton's debut album led to touring engagements throughout North America and England, a second critical success in 2016's Strange Country, and, this past summer, The Siren's Song, produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. In addition to the acclaim by NoDepression.com – which also called this third release “one of the best albums of 2017” – Kacy & Clayton's latest, according to AllMusic.com, “delivers endless melody and effortless cool,” and was lauded by Exclaim.ca as “another compelling chapter in what looks increasingly likely to be the long story of Kacy & Clayton's career.”
Kacy & Clayton's Triple Crown Whiskey Bar & Raccoon Motel concert starts at 7 p.m., admission is $10, and more information is available by visiting MoellerNights.com.
