Renegade country CMA Award winner Elle King will make her way to the Summit City on Thursday, Sept. 5, for a performance at The Clyde Theatre.

The platinum-selling artist known for her chart-topping hits “Ex’s & Oh’s” and “America’s Sweetheart” combines a solid mix of rock, blues, country, and soul. The raspy undertones of her voice combined with her raw lyrical narratives make her live performances a hypnotic experience you won’t want to miss. 

Plus, in case you’ve been living under a rock, King is the daughter of actor and comedian Rob Schneider (yeah, the Deuce Bigalow guy)  and former model London King. 

In addition, The Clyde has announced New Jersey indie-folk-punk band The Front Bottoms will hit the stage on Wednesday, Sept 18. 

Tickets for Elle King and The Front Bottoms are available online at clydetheatre.com, over the phone at (800) 514-3849, or in person at The Clyde box office and Sweetwater Sound.
