AUGUST 5, 2026 — Métis Canadian alt-folk artist Cat Clyde and Seattle-based singer-songwriter Dean Johnson have announced an upcoming co-headline tour throughout much of the Western U.S. and Canada. Both artists are included on this year's Live List of "rising, must-see acts" in 2026 from The National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) and have released highly acclaimed new albums within the past year, Clyde's Mud Blood Bone via Concord Records and Johnson's I Hope We Can Still Be Friends via Saddle Creek. Artist presale tickets for the tour are available now through tomorrow (Thursday), August 6, at 10pm Local. General onsale goes live on Friday, August 7, at 10am Local. Please see below for full tour details.

Clyde has been touring extensively throughout North America and Europe since the March release of Mud Blood Bone. She has made festival appearances at Treefort, Nelsonville, Red Wing Roots, Roskilde, Rotterdam Bluegrass, Winnipeg Folk, and Canmore Folk, and performed live video sessions for SPIN Magazine and No Depression.

Produced with Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, S.G. Goodman) and featuring appearances by Boy Golden, Mud Blood Bone is an album meant for the road: penned in Clyde's 1973 Boler trailer on a farm in Ontario, on a narrow boat in England, and in transit between festivals. No Depression recently recognized the 11-song set as one of the 5 Best Albums of 2026 So Far—alongside releases from Kacey Musgraves, Bella White, John R. Miller, and Rodney Crowell—praising, "Eloquent and blunt at once, Mud Blood Bone is a candid self-portrait of an artist sifting through the ashes of a bitter breakup, staring down self-doubt, and emerging with renewed purpose." CBC Music also highlighted Clyde as one of 5 Indigenous Musicians to Know in 2026, and The Independent hailed her as "one of the most distinctive voices to come out of Ontario since Alanis Morissette."

Mud Blood Bone is available now everywhere you buy or stream music.
