Youth in a Roman Field is the surrealist folk project of artist, teacher, and activist Claire Wellin. The band’s progressive sound (described as a combination of ‘Appalachia, cayenne pepper, and ghosts’ and ‘like Radiohead but also folk music’) is reflected in their inventive recordings and endearing live performances. Weaving string loops with soaring violin melodies and dynamic vocals, Claire’s solo show is part singer-songwriter, part one-woman orchestra, offering an intimate translation of their unique songs. Their latest album, ‘Get Caught Trying,’ was released November 2023 via Better Company Records and explores self-worth, power, loss of faith, care, and collective healing.
