Cat Clyde

On May 24, 2026, Cat Clyde brings her folk-and-blues craft to The Broom Factory in Kingston. Rooted in rural Ontario, the singer-songwriter builds songs around voice and unfussy guitar work, moving from country-tinged twang to a clear, plaintive croon. Her influences run from Patsy Cline and Lead Belly to Karen Dalton and Bobbie Gentry, a thread she pulls through a modern, understated approach.

Across a growing catalog, Clyde moves between intimate ballads, dusty blues and laid-back rock shades. Ivory Castanets (2017) set the tone with spare arrangements; Hunters Trance (2019) opened a more electric, slightly psychedelic palette; the duo set Blue Blue Blue (2020) with Jeremie Albino explored folk-country harmonies; Good Bones (2022) stripped things back again; and Down Rounder (2023) tied it all together with earthy songwriting and a warm, minimal feel.

Live, she leans on dynamics and space rather than volume, letting melodies breathe and lyrics stay upfront. This date at The Broom Factory offers a set that traces her path so far, from early cuts to recent material.
