Kacy & Clayton - Music Millenium, Portland OR - November 15, 2019


[from Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan, Canada] They’re second cousins. Their sound is tight and high. How did this turn into a smut novel? They’re a sweet country waver – often singing super high like “I’ll Call You Angel of the Morning.” The annoyance level was lower than exected – it ended up making them distinctive. They’re traditionalists with a bit of a modern spin. Their origins in a snow swept land totally fit. The guy basically accompanied her on guitar and vocals. Both were accomplished guitarists, detailed. She also used a seemingly affected manner of speech between songs almost to where I suspected she just talks that way, but I think not – she slipped a few times. The people in front of me kept laughing and mouthing “we love you” to Kacy, who was mostly deadpan/shy. The last song I saw was a cover of a “fiddle song” although they had no fiddles, “Done Gone” by Texan Eck Robertson, they told the crowd. For the record, I love “Angel of the Morning.”
