Overview

Our two-person band plays our originals and also can play a variety of genres (in our non-classical style) including Celtic, folk, Appalachian old-time, Americana, indie-rock, blues, and more. Along with singing, our current repertoire will include some duo combination of guitars, fiddle, Irish bouzouki, mandolin, bass, or Irish tenor banjo (which two depends on your preferences).

We'll customize our setlist to play whichever of our genres or instruments you like best, whether it's with singing or only instrumentals or a mixture.

Our acoustic or electric duo is sometimes available to play, wherever the sounds of our strings and voices would enrich your event.

Beltane Festival

We were overjoyed at the talented musical gift and commentary of the Clay Babies! Their contribution of Celtic folk songs was a wonderful addition to our celebration. We will invite them back!

THANK YOU / "ceud mìle taing" / "go raibh maith agat", Joseph, you are so kind! We LOVED playing at MacIain’s Public House, a dream of a pub for playing music and also for eating delicious authentic Scottish / Irish / Scots-Irish / British food! We're coming back soon as customers. :-)

What to expect

We are professional and nice. We show up on time and start playing on time. We play a variety of genres and a variety of venues such as restaurants, assisted living & retirement communities, coffeehouses, bed & breakfasts, pubs, wineries, farmers markets, festivals, office parties, church events, banquets, dances (waltzes, Irish step-dancing, Appalachian circle dances), or wherever our sounds would enhance your event. We are not classically trained and do not play in a classical manner...we are a bit rougher than that; we've had a lot of positive feedback from lovers of non-classical music.

Among our variety of genres and instruments, we will stick to your preferences whether that be acoustic folk or electric rock and roll. We aim to play what we think would be most appropriate for your event, so let us know what type of music you're looking for.

Our audio samples only cover a small portion of our potential sounds regarding instruments and genres. Please send us a message if you'd like to hear an instrumental combination or genre not represented here (we have maximized the number of samples permitted by gigSalad without us having to pay a monthly fee).

About

Clay Babies is a husband-wife song-writing duo in northeast Georgia. In addition to playing our original music, we could also play solely in one of several different genres including traditional Celtic music, folk songs, Americana, acoustic rock, electric rock, Appalachian old-time, etc. -- or we could mix it all up. You can let us know which type of music would best suit your event.

GigSalad permits us to display only two free searchable genres of music which is why it shows only 'Celtic' and 'Folk' for our "services offered"...We can however play additional types of music, so message us what genre you're looking for, after reading all above and listening to our audio samples. We can send you samples of additional genres we are capable of which are not represented here (GigSalad limits the number of audio samples).

We are also sometimes available to write custom songs, e.g. to promote your business or event or to give a special gift to a loved one.

Additional booking notes

If amplification is preferred, we supply all needed equipment and can run our own sound -- we'd only need a power source that has a 3-pronged grounded outlet.

Set list

We customize our set list based on what you're interested in of the genres / instruments we play. We love playing only our originals, but we could also play folk, old-time, Celtic, Americana, acoustic rock, electric rock, etc. Our setlist could be exclusive to one genre or a mixture, using fiddle + rhythm or two guitars, with or without singing. We aim to match our setlist to your event as best we can, so let us know what you think the people at your event would like.

Influences and inspiration

positive music from many different genres

Setup requirements

If amplification is preferred, we need a power source. We have the rest.
