Scott Clay
Double bill Nashville Roots/Americana & songwriters duo Caspar and Gaby BroekhuijsenSCOTT CLAY
Scott Clay’s sixth studio album ‘Jade’, released in May 2024, peeks underneath the layers of traditional Americana to reveal the Nashville songwriter in the midst of his alchemical storytelling.
Complex yet uncomplicated, the album's eleven tracks roam from funky 60s inspired riffs to modern experimental folk ballads, while his unabashed lyrics and distinctive voice invite listeners on an introspective journey.
Over the years Clay has shared the stage with notable acts such as Drayton Farley, The Brothers Reed, and Ian Jones. His journey as a performing artist has also brought him to the UK on 3 separate tours.
Testing out the British waters earlier in October 2023, he joined forces with Dave Hemingway’s Sunbirds, a member of the renowned British band The Beautiful South, and has been called back to return with Sunbirds for another round of UK shows in 2024 as well as shows throughout the US.
Scott's new album 'Jade' was recently described by B-Side Guys as "a work of art that showcases the very best of what Americana music has to offer. With his unparalleled storytelling, rich musicality, and fearless exploration of the genre’s many dimensions, Scott Clay has created a masterpiece that will stand the test of time. “Jade” is a triumph of artistic vision and a celebration of the enduring spirit of American music."
Aurora Music Video - Americana UK "The language is direct and real, placing us authentically right in that moment when the light show begins."
American Songwriter "...his songwriting, more than anything else, imbues the album with a sense of wonder. It's ten sleepless tracks amount to a warmly melancholic self-portrait."

Press:
''Fragrance of Love is a fragile, introverted song, sung harmoniously by Caspar and Gaby whose voices seem to match each other perfectly. The description of both the band and the song uses words such as 'introspective', 'hypnotic' and 'mystical'. All striking as far as we are concerned." - 3voor12
"In Quiet Room we hear an almost whispering harmony from Caspar and Gaby, as if they are trying to leave the calm and tranquility for what it is. An intriguing track that puts Two End Faces on the map as a mysterious duo that you should treat with respect.'' - 3voor12
