CLAY STREET UNIT

VALLEY FLOWER

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Clay Street Unit mixes the Newgrass spirit of the Rocky Mountains with the country-folk traditions of the Appalachians. The result is a modern, amplified version of American roots music that blurs the borders between genre and geography, driven forward by drums, sharp songwriting, and the chemistry of multiple road warriors who've shared countless hours on stage. Mandolinist Scottie Bolin, bassist Jack Kotarba, banjo player Jack Cline, pedal steel guitarist Brad Larrison, drummer Brendan Lamb, and singer/guitarist/ringleader Sam Walker don't just nod to their influences; they reshape them into something new. With a follow-up to the band's career-launching EP, A Mighty Fine Evening, on the horizon, Clay Street Unit are staking their claim as torchbearers of something both fresh and familiar, nodding to the foundations of American music while sharpening their own progressive edge.
Valley Flower is a 5-piece string band of friends who met picking in the Central Texas bluegrass scene by way of Virginia, North Carolina and Minnesota. To describe their sound, KUTX noted, “Valley Flower cross pollinates those iconic Appalachian sounds with the freshest petals of country, folk, and jam clearly [infused by their] unique regional influences.” Valley Flower’s distinctive style and powerful songwriting is captivating audiences locally and around the country, earning residencies at Austin’s largest americana venues and spots opening for national touring acts out of
Nashville & Denver’s newgrass/alt-country scene.

Valley Flower released their first single, “Valley Flower,” in July 2024, which quickly landed on Spotify’s Editorial “Newgrass” Playlist. The band released two more singles in 2024, growing up to 10k monthly listeners and earning nearly 30k streams in their five months on Spotify. On their latest release, “Run Buddy”, music journalist Country Cutler applauded Valley Flower’s “seamless blending of Appalachian hillbilly styles and classic Texas country.”
