Clementine Was Right is the songwriting project of poets Mike Young and Gion Davis. Chronicling years of uprooting—from Northern California to New England, Alaska to New Mexico—the music gallops and sways through hook-smeared bootgaze and western emo.

After releasing three books of poems and stories in the early 2010s (with praise from VICE, BOMB, The Believer), Mike started Clementine Was Right in 2018 as a return to songwriting.

The band is based in Denver and features an orchard of collaborators from the Sierra Nevadas to the Ozarks, complicating and queering the lineage of “country music” with yokel fuzz.

Adobe & Teardrops said: “exquisite storytelling … one of those bands that helps you expand on how you perceive the world, be more observant, and take note of things you might’ve passed by.”

The band has been featured in Stereogum, Paste, Brooklyn Vegan, and elsewhere. And the band has shared bills with Sadie Dupuis (of Speedy Ortiz), Nat Baldwin (of Dirty Projectors), Dave Dondero, Pearl Charles, and many others.

Thanks to national DIY touring and a collaborative online presence, Clementine Was Right is building a dedicated community of listeners all over (70k Spotify streams, 1400 Spotify followers, 16k TikTok followers), heartbroken mutts swaying and singing along to stories about the fire of forgiveness, driving a Volvo to the doughnut store, garbage bag curtains, packing the rain in the smell of your coat, and distances you never learn to trust.
