~ Clara&Kleighton + Old Love
emotion friends is the curious and warm songwriting project of multi-instrumentalists Clara and Kleighton Smoniewski (Clara&Kleighton) with songwriter and guitarist Nate Pollesch (Old Love)
honest lyrics and three part harmonies are the features of their version of americana, which is woven with a variety of instruments, including guitars, violin, harmonica, and more
vulnerable, harsh, humble, and sweet – their music reflects the liminal and rugged backdrop of Duluth Minnesota, where they currently reside and where they began playing music together in 2018 for friends, farmers markets, and more friends
