AN EVENING WITH SLAID CLEAVES
(DUO)
FRI, OCT 20 @ 8PM
$30
Americana/folk stalwart Slaid Cleaves has been putting out
highly acclaimed records for 25 years now, consistently
delivering songs that strike people’s hearts and become part of
their lives. Together Through the Dark is no different. Producer
Scrappy Jud Newcomb and Cleaves teamed up for the third time
in early 2022 between Covid surges to record a new batch of
songs, Slaid’s first in five years. Familiar themes of struggle and
resilience will be a surprise to no one. As Scrappy puts it, “This
album speaks to the hopeful, the hard working, the battered,
confused, and the sad. But above all to the believers in the city
of freedom that we heard in the stories of our youth and all
those FM radio hits.” Watch for single releases to radio and
streaming services in early 2023 in anticipation of a March 3rd
worldwide album release.
