Radio Woodstock announces Cautious Clay for “Saturday Night Takeover” on Feb. 4

Radio Woodstock 100.1 WDST has announced the next installment of the “Saturday Night Takeover” which will take place on Saturday, February 4th featuring multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer-songwriter, Cautious Clay.

Also recognized as Josh Karpeh, the Cleveland born musician has built a reputation for poetic and emotionally honest music. Clay draws from R&B, hip hop, and left field indie pop to produce sophisticated songwriting, soulful singing, and a cinematic sound. He’s experienced a tremendous amount of success following his three-year-old breakout debut single “Cold War”.

His songs have soundtracked key scenes in films like Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart and TV shows like Issa Rae’s Insecure. He’s written songs with John Legend and John Mayer, while also releasing music that’s been used by Taylor Swift. Clay’s single, “Cheesin” includes Remi Wolf, Still Woozy, Sophie Meiers, Claud, Melanie Faye, and HXNS. His latest album, Deadpan Love, is an album about balance. The balance between others and oneself, between intransigence and compromise, and between sarcasm and sincerity.

“Woodstock is one of my favorite places to visit, and I have been extremely grateful for Radio Woodstock’s support of my music. When they asked me to be a part of their Saturday Takeover Series, I was excited to share a broad spectrum of some of my favorite songs, new and old”!
– Cautious Clay
