Clementine Was Right
Clementine Was Right is the songwriting project of poets Mike Young and Gion Davis. Chronicling years of uprooting—from Northern California to New England, Alaska to New Mexico—the music gallops and sways through hook-smeared bootgaze and western emo. The band is based in Denver and features an orchard of collaborators from the Sierra Nevadas to the Ozarks, complicating and queering the lineage of "country music" with yokel fuzz.
Mike Young is the songwriter for Clementine Was Right and author of Sprezzatura (Publishing Genius 2014, poems), We Are All Good If They Try Hard Enough (Publishing Genius 2010, poems), and Look! Look! Feathers (Word Riot Press 2010, stories). He lives in Denver, CO.
Gion Davis is a trans poet from Española, New Mexico where he grew up on a sheep ranch. His debut collection Too Much (2022) received the 2021 Ghost Peach Press Prize selected by Chen Chen. He graduated with their MFA in Poetry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2019 and currently lives in Denver, Colorado. Gion can be found on Instagram @starkstateofmind & on Twitter @gheeontoast.
