Songs escape late-20s troubadour Clint Manning like vapor from a kettle. And that whistle is damn sweet. Hailing from Buffalo, New York, now based out of Austin, Texas, the multi-instrumentalist’s winding musical career has progressed through many projects and genres. His songs speak on the universal themes of love, loss and existential ache in ways that are relatable and replayable.

A live performance veteran of over 1,000 shows across the country, and an accomplished producer with over 20 artists under his belt, Manning's self-styled, self-written, self-guided path continues to unwind in fascinating ways. His latest album, "Awake and Restless," follows in his tradition of excellent song craft, capturing the choices we make, the way we struggle with them, and the way we triumph over them.
