A resident of Brooklyn, NY, his songs have been heard on the TV series Damages, Feed the Beast, Virgin River, and the Purge.
“A player’s player, with a righteously raspy twang”—Time Out NY
“Smart roots-rock and country-rock tunes”—New York Post
“A brilliant guitarist…Count this among the best albums to make it over the transom here this year”—New York Music Daily
Cliff Westfall is a NYC-based, Kentucky native singer-songwriter whose 2018 debut album, Baby You Win, received accolades in upwards of 30 publications and received airplay on Sirius XM’s Outlaw Country station. New York Music Daily says “If Elvis Costello had made an album of original country songs, it would have sounded something like this. The country crooner and songwriter writes period-perfect, aphoristic honkytonk and Nashville gothic tunes.” Cliff describes his music as “contemporary indie country, rooted in the classics but with influences including cowpony, California country rock and the current music scene of East Nashville and Austin.
Skål is thrilled to have Cliff and Chris play this year!
