Preston Lydotes at Smith's Olde Bar

From the venue:

Join Preston Lydotes and Clara Kay for a night of intimate folk/rock storytelling, featuring Atlanta local acts Emma Laprade and Meredith Tilton. The show is part of Lydotes' and Kay's Outrun Summer tour, their debut headline run across the East Coast. Preston Lydotes is a Boston-born indie-rock troubadour. His latest EP Stranger At Best, hailed by The Other Side Reviews as “a stunning exercise in emotional alchemy,” has surpassed 275,000 streams on Spotify alone. He is the recipient of the Portsmouth Music Hall Emerging Artist Award and a three-time New England Music Award nominee. Now based in Nashville, Lydotes is finishing his debut album—further establishing himself as a rising voice in modern indie rock & roll. - Clara Kay: After years of fronting rock bands and secretly writing folk songs in her bedroom, Clara Kay has found her voice in the tension between the two. Her music lives in the space where raw feeling meets sharp storytelling. - Emma Laprade is a self-taught musician who's been chasing melodies since she was 12 years old. What started as a quiet curiosity quickly turned into a lifelong love of songwriting and storytelling through music. Based in Atlanta, she's at work on her debut EP, blending elements of indie folk and acoustic rock. - Meredith Tilton is an Atlanta based singer-songwriter, who provides relatability and honesty through her mood and introspective lyrics. Adding onto the acoustic guitar and vocals, her newly formed band of Atlanta musicians brings a new energy to her original compositions.
