Sad House Daddy presents Ben Salter, Jethro Pickett and Xav Clarke live at Biddle Bros. Free entry! XAV CLARKE Xav Clarke's musical style could best be described as imaginative, playful and fantastical with a wondering sophistication and curiosity that welcomes listeners into his rainbow world of complex sounds, textures and emotions. His songs "are those first thoughts in the morning and final electrons firing in your brain before you fall asleep." As well as playing with bands Itchy Teeth, Captain Fix & The Midnight Honeys, Starfish Men and Mozart Estate, Xav also composes for film & television and released his debut solo album 'Magic Arrow' in 2022. https://www.xavclarke.com/ https://www.instagram.com/xav_xav_xav/ https://soundcloud.com/xavclarke https://xavclarke.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BK5H2GSy5GScOwHyAXsTi https://www.youtube.com/@xavclarke JETHRO PICKETT Maverick songwriter/producer Jethro Pickett crafts beguiling, off-kilter recordings, moored by charming melodies and honest storytelling.
