Kacy & Clayton is a Canadian folk/roots duo originating from Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan.[1] Having played together for over a decade growing up, the duo consists of second cousins Clayton Linthicum on guitar and Kacy Anderson on vocals.[2]

They released their sophomore album Strange Country in 2015,[3] In 2016, Kacy & Clayton signed to New West Records, which rereleased Strange Country that year.[4]

The duo released their follow-up album, The Siren’s Song, in August 2017 via New West Records.[5] Having a fuller sound than their usual stripped-down, minimalist style, this album features Mike Silverman on drums and Shuyler Jansen on bass.[6] After having toured with Wilco for their previous album, The Siren’s Song was produced and recorded by Jeff Tweedy in his studio The Loft in Chicago.[7] The album was supported with a tour as opening act for The Decemberists.[8]
