We’re gearing up to start promoting Caleb Klauder‘s brand new album, Western Country. As the frontman of Foghorn Stringband, Caleb has played a defining role in the Northwest’s rich acoustic music scene, and we’re huge fans of his dry-dusty voice and straight-ahead delivery. Plus we’ve been delighted to discover what a great songwriter he is! His country songs drip with honky-tonk emotion, and sound like they could be rolling out of a run-down old juke joint full of Okies during the Depression.
Well, we’re not the only ones to take notice, and Caleb was recently invited to perform live on KEXP in Seattle. He brought along master Cajun dancehall musicians Joel Savoy and Jesse Lege. They all joined forces in the studio and mixed up a red-hot session of Cajun Honky-Tonk music. Word now is that they had so much fun that they’re taking their act on the road!
