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.
