Biography

Americana/folk stalwart Slaid Cleaves has been putting out highly acclaimed records for 25 years now, consistently delivering songs that strike people's hearts and become part of their lives. His new album, Together Through the Dark (March 2023), is no different. Cleaves teamed up with producer Scrappy Jud Newcomb for the third time in early 2022 to record a new batch of songs, his first in five years. Familiar themes of struggle and resilience will be a surprise to no one. Together Through the Dark digs into the crucial moments and experiences that shape our journeys. A kind word when it's needed most, the effort to act honorably in dark and violent times, the wisdom of a barfly, the majesty of rock and roll, the dignity of work and the enduring grace provided by true love. As Scrappy puts it, "This album speaks to the hopeful, the hard working, the battered, confused, and the sad. But above all to the believers in the city of freedom that we heard in the stories of our youth and all those FM radio hits." Joseph Hudak of Rolling Stone Country calls Cleaves “a master storyteller, one influenced not by the shine of pop-culture but by the dirt of real life.” You can find out more about Slaid Cleaves at slaid.com.
