Olive Klug & Silvie's Okay: Queer Folk and Country Music

Saturday, October 5th: join us for a night of sweet (and at times heart-aching) sounds of Olive Klug and Silvie’s Okay. Make sure to come by earlier in the day to checkout our pop-up artist market and Easthampton Art Walk!

Olive Klug: Combining their knack for storytelling with a lilting soprano voice, Klug offers observations with an unflinching honesty. "I'll stop seeking to find, start saying what's on my mind," sings Klug on Out Of Line, the lead single from their 2023 label-debut album, Don't You Dare Make Me Jaded.

The album takes on the world with visceral and tactile images: it finds them falling in love with reckless abandon, haunted by the ghost of an old lover, waiting for fairies in the backyard of their childhood home. Olive's work is optimistic, but not naive. Klug emerged into the scene in fraught times: for the folk landscape, for the country, for themself. By combining Golden Age folk references and contemporary narratives with ease, Olive Klug is a singular voice for the future of folk: honest, compelling, often unsure, but willing to try anyway.

2024 finds Olive in Nashville, attempting to stabilize after a 3-year whirlwind of viral niche internet-fame, nonstop touring, and music industry naïveté.

Silvie's Okay is the ache-y country project of Vince Thompson. Raised on a cattle ranch in the High Desert before moving to Boston and eventually Western Massachusetts, Silvie’s Okay is a return to his roots of blasting pop country through the AM radio of a tractor. Thompson manages to highlight his personal experiences in queer identity, grief, love and lust with hard-hitting lyricism and enticing hooks, inviting a wider audience to dive in and find their own reflections in his work. Silvie’s demo EP, ‘Grit and Bare It’, was released in April 2024.
