Diane Cluck
Encyclopedia
Diane Cluck is an American
singer and songwriter of intuitive folk. Although known as a solo performer, she has often collaborated with others, including a recent association with drummer Anders Griffen
on tours in the US and UK.
A Village Voice previewer wrote: "Though Cluck is also anti-folk affiliated, her sound is more serious—
she is likely one of the most refined and elegant songwriters in all of neo-folkdom (freak-, anti-, whatevuh-).
A brilliant idiosyncratic guitarist, a witty and wise lyricist, an imaginative melody writer with a powerful voice;
her dark and introspective tunes are utterly captivating, sorta like an earthier Kate Bush.
Watch her spellbind the room."
