PALMYRA LIVE!! | CATS CRADLE
The evening at Cats Cradle Backroom was a celebration of folk music’s many shades, with Clover Lynn and Palmyra delivering standout performances to a packed and enthusiastic crowd.
Kicking off the night was Clover Lynn, a rising star carving out her own niche in what she calls "Gothic Mountain Bluegrass." Known for her work with Hellfires Band, this marks her first solo tour—and if last night was any indication, it won’t be her last. Her command of the banjo was mesmerizing, blending haunting melodies with technical brilliance. Each song carried a raw, emotional weight, and she proved that she’s not just a talented instrumentalist but also a captivating performer and storyteller that had the crowd laughing.
Palmyra took the stage next, riding the momentum of their brand-new album, Restless. The folk band wasted no time drawing the audience in, their tight harmonies filling every corner of the venue. The crowd was fully engaged, singing along to both old favorites and fresh cuts from the new record. The energy in the room was electric, a testament to the band’s growing following and their ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners.
By the time the final notes rang out, the night had already cemented itself as something special. Everyone left with smiles, still humming the melodies that had soundtracked the evening. It was the kind of show that reminds you why live music is so powerful—intimate, communal, and unforgettable.
