Clayne Zollinger is a singer-songwriter who melds old-school folk and country music with modern songwriting sensibilities, drawing influences from the likes of John Prine and Townes Van Zandt to Waylon Jennings and beyond. His lyrics are raw and honest, but also display an ironic, wry sense of humor.  He has won over audiences in venues across the Northwest with his self-deprecating stage presence and larger-than-life voice.

He grew up in a small, rural town in the high desert of Southern Idaho where he became interested in music at a young age and honed his skills as a player and performer while in college studying Creative Writing. After taking a pause on his music career to pursue an MFA in Poetry, he released his debut single, "The Hard Way," in late 2023.

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and somewhat-producer looking for more multi-hyphen descriptions to describe what I do. I like the old stuff.
