Cat Clyde

On May 30, 2026 at Rum Runners in London, Canada, Cat Clyde brings her Ontario-bred folk and roots songs to the stage. Blending blues, country and an Americana tint, her writing leans on a clear voice, stripped-back guitars and warm, acoustic atmospheres. Since Ivory Castanets (2017) and Hunters Trance (2019), she has traced a path between intimate ballads, bluesy turns and a laid-back rock pulse. The duo detour with Jeremie Albino on Blue Blue Blue (2020) sharpened her taste for close harmonies, while Good Bones (2022) pared things down to the essentials. Down Rounder (2023) extends that balance, with songs that breathe and leave space.

Live, arrangements keep the spotlight on the song: fingerpicked patterns, slide shadings and a rhythm that strolls rather than rushes. The set can move from hushed folk to rootsier grit in a few bars, carried by a warm, minimalist aesthetic that keeps the focus on the voice and the story.
