"An Evening With Slaid Cleaves"
"An Evening With Slaid Cleaves"
Austin Singer-Songwriter
Accompanied by Chojo Jacques

Singer-songwriter Slaid Cleves returns to Humboldt County after a 10 year hiatus.

Cleves grew up in Maine, lives outside Austin, Texas, and tours much of the year. In 1992, he won the New Folk award
at the Kerrville Folk Festival. Since then he's released more than a dozen albums and appeared on several compilations
He spins stories with a novelist's eye and a poet's heart. Twenty years into his career, the celebrated songwriter's
Still Fighting the War spotlights an artist in peak form. Cleaves' seamless new collection delivers vivid snapshots
as wildly cinematic as they are carefully chiseled. Dress William Faulkner with faded jeans and a worn six-string
for a good idea. "Slaid's a craftsman," says Terri Hendrix, who sings harmony on "Texas Love Song."
"He goes about his songs like a woodworker."

Cleaves delivers equal measures of hope and resignation throughout this 2013 release as life lessons slide subtly
through side doors. "Normally when I start writing a new batch, a theme starts to emerge after three or four songs,"
says Cleaves, who has built an unlikely success story from scratch after moving to Austin, Texas, two decades ago.

"He's a smart writer with a gift for wringing the most out of a melody. Slaid understands that the song has to rule.
He's patient and unwavering in his pursuit of the best."- co-writer Rod Picott
