Todd Clayton brings the shimmering textures of pedal steel, while Ken Wilson drives the heartbeat of the songs on drums. Ariel Tsukana Yamada holds down the low end with soulful bass lines, and Dave Shapiro adds fire and finesse on lead guitar. Special guest Don Richmond of The Rifters, who recorded, played on, produced, mixed and mastered the album, will join the band to weave mandolin, banjo and fiddle into the mix with his signature artistry. Together, this powerhouse lineup creates a rich, dynamic sound to bring the new record to life.
Clarisse says she plays “music with country roots and cowgirl boots.” With a voice as grounded as the Mountain West she calls home, Clarisse blends Americana, country and bluegrass into heartfelt songs that tell stories of resilience, family and wide-open landscapes. Her discography includes “Songs from the Sofa” (2023), the collaborative EP “Kindred Spirits” (2024), and her new full-length album “Shadows of a Ghost Town” (2025), an evocative exploration of death, nature, and the soul of the West.
Recognized by the Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame and a proud member of the Mountain West Country Music Association, Clarisse is also the recipient of a 2024 Howling Dog Music Group grant, recording her latest album at Howling Dog Records with Don Richmond.
When she’s not onstage, Clarisse volunteers with Musicians On Call bringing live music to patients at Children’s Hospital and the VA in Denver. With every song and show, she builds community, lifts up fellow artists, and reminds audiences why music matters.
The show at Society Hall begins at 7 p.m.; doors open at 6 p.m. Admission is $20.
