Authentic, soulful folk from two dynamic songwriters
Joy Clark’s songcraft, paired with sophisticated progressions, and themes of freedom, love and self-acceptance gained her notice on the national folk and Americana scenes just a few years ago with appearances at Americanafest. She caught the attention of Grammy-winner Allison Russell and was offered a regular spot in her backing band The Rainbow Coalition, earning her the chance to jam with superstars Brandi Carlile and the Indigo Girls. Talking to The Tennessean, Russell described Joy as a “a brilliant artist, writer and singer.”
Ann Arbor’s homegrown friend and folksinger describes herself as “raspy, emo acoustic soul-folk with a touch of optimism and a lot of humanness.”
Beginning in 2005, Michigan-based singer songmaker and multi-instrumentalist Kate Peterson has traveled the US and Europe winning the hearts of vulnerability lovers everywhere. For 10 years, she spilled her heart onto hundreds of stages, opened for her heroes and sparked thousands of laughs (and almost as many tears) with her folk duo, Nervous but Excited. These days, in between adventure travel, Kate is a home-makin’ hobbyist who swaps her wood-working tools for a microphone for only the most special of occasions.
The roots of her music are still planted firmly in the Pleasantly Aggressive Folk sound that long time fans will find familiar, but they will quickly notice a depth in her sound that only time and patience can cultivate.
