Press

“Raleigh quartet Clay Pigeons play Americana with a rock-centric bent. Even with its jangly guitar and thumping country bass line, a track like "The Day We Drove to the Rodeo" is driven by a sturdy backbeat and wailing vocals, deeply recalling Patty Hurst Shifter. The harmonies are really terrific, too, suggesting the Eagles with the pretty, album-closing title ballad of last year's American Pipedream EP. Their wistful romanticism and ne'er-do-well charm comes captured in their observation, "What have these heroes of yesterday turned out to be? Wage weary workers and hourly prisoners who just find the end to a means." Keening, haunted country-folkies The Magnolia Collective open.”

— Chris Parker, Independent Weekly

“Hailing from the small towns of Stanly County, the members of Clay Pigeons don't have to be told what kind of stories fit roots music. After forming as a singer-songwriter collective inspired by Neil Young and Townes Van Zandt, the foursome translated its traditional sensibilities into harmonies that twang and brawl like a barn party. "The Day We Drove to the Rodeo" from their EP American Pipedream is a fist fight of heartbreak, featuring the memorable equivocation, "I loved you like a man loves his alcohol." ”

— Ashleigh Phillips, Independent Weekly

"Largely overlooked Raleigh roots quartet Clay Pigeons opens with rich four-part harmonies gracing plainspoken tales that take the shapes of easygoing pop numbers and rowdy barnburners."

— Spencer Griffith, Independent Weekly

“Now the band mixes numerous instruments ranging from guitar to harmonica, banjo to mandolin, drums to the occasional upright bass. Working to tell a story with their words and their instruments. ”

— Stanly News and Press

"This is true Americana music, with plenty of twanging guitar and long drawls, songs of heartbreak, drinking, and the blues. The vocals are rough in all the right places, with some strong harmonies right where they need to be. It’s everything I want to hear in a country band."

— Homoground, Fuck Yeah Queer Music

“A band comprised of Stanly County natives is creating quite a following in the Raleigh area, and they are headed back to Stanly for two shows this month.”

— B.J. Drye, Stanly News and Press
