Diane Cluck is an American singer and songwriter of intuitive folk.[1] Although known as a solo performer, she has often collaborated with others, including a recent association with drummer Anders Griffen on tours in the US and UK.[2][3] She announced a fan-funded "Song-of-the-Week" project in December 2011, in which she'll write and distribute a new song to subscribers every week for six months.[4]
A Village Voice previewer wrote: "Though Cluck is also anti-folk affiliated, her sound is more serious— she is likely one of the most refined and elegant songwriters in all of neo-folkdom (freak-, anti-, whatevuh-). A brilliant idiosyncratic guitarist, a witty and wise lyricist, an imaginative melody writer with a powerful voice; her dark and introspective tunes are utterly captivating, sorta like an earthier Kate Bush. Watch her spellbind the room."[5]
