“Intimate and quietly powerful.” — Lock Magazine
April Patterson Clemens & Cobalt Tolbert are a Vermont-based indie-folk duo blending April’s rich, expressive vocals and original songwriting with Cobalt’s intricate, inventive guitar work. Building on April’s reputation as an "indie darling," their live shows mix compelling originals, thoughtfully chosen covers, and an easy rapport with the audience, creating a warm, engaging experience with plenty of personality.
“When she sings, Clemens channels medieval spirits with a rich, earthy tone that bends itself ethereally, the way water bends an image.” — Seven Days “April’s heartfelt delivery and Cobalt’s intricate guitar lines” create a “balletic dance” that is “intimate and thoroughly moving.” — Plastic Magazine “The vulnerability of someone sharing a personal story by firelight” captures both “sorrow and beauty.” — Popfad “A voice that sounds like memory itself... tender, tragic, and achingly familiar.” — Cage Riot “There’s a haunting clarity” and “beautiful nostalgia in the lyrics.” — Beach House Magazine “Intimate and quietly powerful… an artist who has always favoured feeling over flash.” — Lock Magazine Admittance is BY-DONATION
