Clampitt, Gaddis & Buck are an acoustic trio from Portland, OR., paying homage to traditional American folk, country and gospel with their soaring harmonies and stripped-down style.
For Fans of: The Carter Family, Freakwater, Louvin Brothers, Bill Monroe, Dickel Brothers, Jim & Jennie and the Pinetops, and even Wayne "the Train" Hancock.
Erik Clampitt and vocalist Marley Gaddis started working together in October of 2002. With Clampitt on guitar and harmonica and Gaddis sharing vocal duties, they took their fragile sound and gimmick-free live show to stages around Portland. In March of 2003, they expanded their sound by adding Sean Burke (aka Buck Dagger) on upright bass, mandolin, banjo and vocals.
Recent Press:
Like a deer bounding from a lonely stand of pine, the spare string arrangements and three-part harmonies of Clampitt, Gaddis and Buck ooze stark and naturalistic beauty. Not since oft-missed Old Time hellraisers the Dickel Brothers has the Portland underground-rock scene harbored as talented a group of folk musicians as this Americana trio. Truth through simplicity is their aim. And their aim is good.
