Clem Snide at the Paddock Club (Watertown, N.Y.)

Eef Barzelay, the creative force behind Clem Snide, will play a one-hour intimate set at 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5 at the Paddock Club, 1 Public Sq., Watertown, N.Y.

This is the only appearance in promotion of "Forever Just Beyond," his Scott Avett-produced album, in upstate New York.

Named for a William S. Borroughs character, Clem Snide first emerged from Boston as a three-piece in the early 1990s, and the group would go on to become a cult and critical favorite, picking up high profile fans from Bon Iver to Ben Folds over the course of three decades and more than a dozen studio albums. NPR highlighted the Israeli-born Barzelay as the most underrated songwriter in the business today, with a sneakily firm grasp on poignancy and humor, while Rolling Stone hailed his songwriting as soulful and incisive, and The New Yorker praised his musics soothing melodies and candid wit.

Clem Snide's music has been featured on "Ed" -- in which their "Moment in the Sun" was the second season's theme song -- "Californication" and "The Good Doctor," among others. Eef is opening up for the Avett Brothers the night before his Watertown concert.
