100Words: Kacy & Clayton “Strange Country”

There is something of a timeless quality to the music of Kacy & Clayton. An almost medieval meets modernity that confounds sensible reasoning, but the blend works beautifully.

Clayton Linthicum’s guitar playing fills far more space than a guitar in another player’s hands could fathom and Kacy Anderson’s voice is like a delicate, flowing breeze that whisps through space, filling the voids with a captivating and mysterious sound, engaging and calling like a siren through a storm.

The duo blends their voices and guitar work to be something far bigger than the sum of their parts. The result is breathtaking beauty.
More about the band: Kacy Anderson on vocals, violin, and Clayton Linthicum on guitar, melodeon, and vocals. The duo interprets and composes music inspired by forms of traditional music from Southern Appalachia and the British Isles. Educated by their Grandfather/Great-Uncle respectively, Kacy & Clayton possess an admiration for music and stories of days past. Kacy’s vocals, virtuous and pure, weave seamlessly with Clayton’s finger-style guitar accompaniment. Although the pair are young in age, they’ve been playing music together for over a decade and have created a distinctive, and cohesive sound.
