Public House Presents: JD Clayton

JD Clayton will be live at the Crested Butte Public House Saturday July 29th, 2023!!

JD Clayton is the epitome of a Real Deal.

There’s no artifice surrounding the Arkansas-born singer and songwriter. No glitz. No pretension or mythology.

There’s a refreshing lack of gratuitous posturing or creative conceit.

Clayton is simply a guy who has things to say and does so clearly and without clutter — but with an earnest and tuneful sensibility that makes listening to his songs on his new EP Side A as easy as sitting in the cool breeze on your front porch.

Clayton’s songs have a directness and clarity that are the hallmarks of a genuine craftsman, someone who’s studied and practiced and chased a few different paths to end up where he is now.

And it’s not without grand ambition, either; Clayton sings in “American Millionaire” that “I’m workin’ my way to be one of the greats,” and he fully understands the diligence and dedication it will take to get there.
