About Me

The Elegant Clydes are a rock band from San Francisco whose music emerges from the struggles and beauty of urban life. Discovering the sublime in everyday moments, our songs are triggered by faces on the subway, remnants abandoned in the streets, or the changing seasons seen in a backyard garden.The complex DNA of San Francisco inspires our rhythms and poetry. Edgy yet soulful, our contemporary urban folk sound draws elements from reggae, funk, country, and jazz.Recently, we have played established SF Bay Area venues such as El Rio, the Rockit Room, Hotel Utah, The Purple Onion, and Club DeLuxe.Layout made by linhypoo at CreateBlog.com .
