Cat Clyde and Jamie Drake play Cafe 939

Tune in to birnCORE on Friday, October 18 at 8:00 p.m. for a live broadcast from the Red Room @ Cafe 939 featuring brand new artist Cat Clyde and special guest singer-songwriter Jamie Drake.

A fresh folk talent straight out of Stratford, Ontario, Cat Clyde’s music honors old-time tunes, incorporating influences such as Etta James, Janis Joplin and Lead Belly. Clyde’s soaring vocals have been described as timeless and versatile while her slide-guitar-style soundscape is said to transport you through the swinging doors of a packed saloon.

As an artist who finds clarity in nature and authenticity, Clyde paints vivid pictures in her music, stimulating the senses and opening the listener’s mind the way nature opens hers. Her most recent record, Hunter’s Trance, will take you on a journey through a world of simplicity and serenity, transporting you to the woods in which Clyde finds solace.

A hidden gem within the Los Angeles folk scene, Jamie Drake has been establishing herself in the folk world and beyond since she began pursuing a music career ten years ago. Described as “One of the brightest women in acoustic,” Drake’s thoughtfully written melodies and lyrics send the listener to a celestial place, floating through a reality you will never want to leave.

The show starts at 8:00 p.m. EDT and you can stream it here.
