Cat Clyde

Cat Clyde will be at Supersonic Paris on April 28, 2026, for a concert rooted in sober, precise folk-blues. A Canadian singer-songwriter, she favors direct songwriting, carried by a warm voice and guitar work that slides from folk picking to blues inflections, without unnecessary effects.

Originally from rural Ontario, she composes songs with an organic tempo, ranging from tranquil ballads to rougher numbers. Her singing lets the grain and breaths come through, with a keen attention to detail that establishes real intimacy. The melodies are laid out simply, serving the lyrics and the song’s dynamics.

Her influences are explicit: Patsy Cline and Bobbie Gentry for melodic lines and narrative perspective, Lead Belly and Karen Dalton for tension and timbre. She preserves their structural core and brings them together in a very contemporary format—without nostalgia, with an economy of means that goes straight to the point.

Cat Clyde is finalizing a new album to be released on Concord Records. The first single, "Wild One," sets the frame: pared-back production, voice front and center, songwriting that seeks precision over flash. On stage, these songs gain depth—through silences, renewed surges and subtleties that let the whole breathe.
