Clifford Calhoun IV

Clifford Calhoun IV is a folk, blues, and Americana musician based in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin. Rooted in the rolling hills and river valleys of southwest Wisconsin, his music draws from the deep well of American roots traditions.

Beyond performing and offering guitar lessons, Clifford repairs musical instruments under the Driftless Music Shop banner, bringing the same care and craftsmanship to his instruments as he does to his music. He also promotes live music events throughout the region, working to bring real music to real people at intimate local venues — and DJs events of all kinds, from wedding receptions to bar nights, with the same ear for the right song at the right moment.

Whether he's on stage at The Hungry Hunter in Cataract, finishing a new guitar in the shop, spinning records at a Driftless wedding, or booking the next show at the Elroy Theatre — Clifford is committed to keeping roots music alive in the Driftless.
