Hello, this is Edlyn Clevenger, welcome to my website!

The music I’m showcasing here comes from within as I think about all that’s without. The sound is female vocals accompanied by mandolin, bouzouki (for the deep sound of it, like an octave mandolin), and keys. It’s folk music in the sense that I am a folk person.

The songs on my album, were born during the time I was living, working and playing out of tents for months on end. These songs are expressed on mandolin, as it traveled well with a full pack on my back.

The songs I play on keys are newer, born during a time of great transition for me. The complex and rich sounds of my piano have guided the melodies and techniques of these new songs. Sadly I can’t bring my piano to live shows, so I’ve been translating them through a Korg SV-1. This adds an electronic component to my long time solely acoustic set.

Over the years these songs have been built for sheer joy and energy, opportunities to wield resonance, challenging irreverence, & to have a boat to float the wild waves in.

I’ve been told by a handful of generous souls, that their experience with my music is transcendent. Going there together is all the better! I sing to stoke satisfaction, catharsis, contemplation, peace, and love.

I hope for the honor of sharing my music with you.
