Event information
Slaid Cleaves is known as a "songwriter's songwriter," which is usually a
polite way of saying "he can't sing." But there's no need for decorum
with the Maine-born, Texas-based troubadour: For all of his command of
song craft, Cleaves would still be working as a pharmaceutical guinea pig
were it not for his warm, gently burred tenor. He phrases like a grifter
trying to croon his low-down past away -- and writes like he knows he
never will. When his new folkie peers see angels over every other
barista's shoulder, Cleaves sees through sentiment. "I've been chasing
grace but grace ain't so easily found," he sings on "One Good Year," just
one of many subtle, momentary stays against the dark side of his heart.
That heart doesn't bleed easily -- but when it does, it bleeds true.
