The duo interprets, and composes music inspired by, forms of traditional music from Southern Appalachia and the British Isles. Educated by their Grandfather/Great-Uncle respectively, Kacy & Clayton possess an admiration for music and stories of days past. Kacy's vocals, virtuous and pure, weave seamlessly with Clayton's finger-style guitar accompaniment. Although the second cousins are young in age (17 & 19), they've been playing music together for over a decade and have created a distinct and cohesive sound. Clayton Linthicum is also the lead guitar player in the Deep Dark Woods.
