About this Event
On Wednesday, October 9th, Clay Parker and Jodi James will showcase their mesmerizing harmonies and poignant lyrics at an intimate show in the Tap Room at Waldo Pizza.
Clay Parker and Jodi James create worlds within their records by populating each song with points of view that are archetypical yet unique. After almost a decade of working together, Clay Parker and Jodi James' distinct sound has maintained a minimalist yet mercurial quality. They jokingly refer to themselves as "a band without a name," yet it is this designation of two separate identities that best describes their particular synergy; and the sweetest harmony resides in their ability to abide by their own personalities while creating something entirely fresh that is continuously evolving. With James' country-soul reactiveness and Parker's blue and winding reflectiveness, the resulting sound is a blackout bingo card of Americana.
Noting the duo's heady baritone and crystal bell-tone incantations, Rolling Stone Magazine once aptly described their sound as “mesmerizing back porch music.” Clay Parker and Jodi James' live shows rely solely on the bare necessities: two voices, two guitars, and one amplifier sitting stoically between them. Yet every whispered guitar trill and every lofty vocal harmony seems to lead their audiences near-hypnotically into a common breathing pattern. Clay Parker and Jodi James consistently present music that carves a most-direct, excess-free path to its listeners and patiently displays the duo's true nature as creators of a primitive kind of beauty -- stark yet expressive, accessible yet deep, shadowy yet real.
Clay Parker and Jodi James are immensely talented and we are thrilled to have them at Waldo Folk!
The two-hour show will start at 7:00 PM and doors will open at 5:30 PM on October 9th in the Tap Room at Waldo Pizza.
