- About Me
- Although he hesitates to use labels like americana, even a casual listener can hear that singer-songwriter Cliff Snyder's music is deep in the waters of American roots music. With a weathered voice, an acoustic guitar, and a penchant for straightforward songs about hard work and hard times, the influence of songwriters like Steve Earle, John Prine & Bruce Springsteen are apparent. Whether he's pounding out a an old spiritual or fingerpicking his way through a tale of love gone wrong, Snyder's music cuts through the noise of everyday life.
Cliff has been featured on the INtake & Indianapolismusic.net Top Ten Live shows of the week as well as Indianapolismusic.net & NUVO's OnTrack artist feature.
He has also made live radio appearances in support of his new album Fool's Highway and is currently getting radio play on 88.7 WICR in Indianapolis.

As if he were reading my mind PJ came along with Second Fridays, Second Helpings which has turned out to be an awesome series. I was worried my idea for a monthly show might overlap what PJ, Nora & Jeff we… Continue

This show was GREAT. I kept thinking how wonderful it will be to invite PGT back to the Hoosier State for a show - perhaps in an all ages venue - where some of the young music fans and musicians can experience electronic music arising from a very ...

I doubt the dude in the western shirt is very happy about this photo, whereby it appears that the creature from Alien is about to tear through the flesh of his face. Or about being gently chin-caressed by Moz. Or about singing a duet with Chris Sw...
I read it the same way...I became confused by the positive prose that followed - I assumed what would follow was that the music totally sucked. Glad to hear this sort of thing is happening in B'ton.

I just met Marty and Lesley on a songwriter group and they want to meet at Locals Only Wednesday. I think it's time for me to step up. If you're not busy, let me know.
Thanks for all the assistance. We went to the open stage at Locals Only last Weds. It was awesome! Otto stole the show. He literally had us crying! Please let me know what your schedule is for next week. Take care. ~Brian~
