Calder Allen is 19 year old self-taught singer-songwriter out of Austin, Texas. He expresses his passion for the outdoors through his unique sound that is different from what you'll hear in most of the folk/country scene today. What makes Calder interesting to my audience is that he is an obsessed fisherman who had to make the decision on whether to continue at the University of Montana as a Freshman or open for bands like the Avett Brothers, Wood Brothers and Turnpike Troubadours at places like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. I saw Calder at Bonnaroo and like him so much I returned for a second show. He is one of my favorite new artists. Don't take my word for it, you can check out his songs below.
