Kacy & Clayton

Kacy & Clayton play Manchester on 16 October 2026 at YES. Cousins from Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan, singer Kacy Anderson and guitarist Clayton Linthicum shape an acoustic folk rooted in Americana, where close harmonies meet clear, fingerpicked lines. Their songs lean on traditional ballads and understated country shades, with storytelling that sits between light and shadow.

Since their early releases — the self-titled debut (2011) and The Day Is Past and Gone (2013) — the duo has traced a steady path: Strange Country (2015, reissued 2016 on New West) opened them to a wider North American audience; The Siren’s Song (2017) was recorded in Chicago with Jeff Tweedy after dates alongside Wilco; Carrying On followed in 2019, then Plastic Bouquet in 2020, made with Marlon Williams. On stage, they keep arrangements spare and direct, foregrounding the dialogue between voice and guitar and a blend of rural folk, British inflections and discreet country textures.

At YES, they bring material from across this catalog, letting melody and narrative lead the way in a set built for close listening.
