Clay Parker and Jodi James are an Americana/folk duo hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, whose soulful harmonies and poignant songwriting have carved out a distinctive niche in the American roots music scene. The duo’s music is characterized by its stripped-down aesthetic, where acoustic melodies interweave with intimate, narrative lyrics that evoke the storytelling traditions of folk and country music.

Parker and James began collaborating after pursuing individual solo careers, and their coming together has produced an evocative blend of Clay's earthy, laid-back style and Jodi's passionate, insightful musicality. Notable releases, including "Nothing At All" and "Shame on You, Shame on Me," showcase their chemistry as songwriters and performers, while "The Lonesomest Sound That Can Sound" captures the heart-wrenching beauty of their duets. Their eponymous album "Clay Parker & Jodi James" solidifies their partnership, offering a collection that resonates with fans of Americana and folk music who crave authenticity and eloquence in equal measure. Their music is a gentle call to the listener, inviting them into a world woven with the threads of everyday stories, love, and the simple complexities of life.
