A nearly 100-year-old song from the Memphis Jug Band called KC Moan is a favorite of folk musician and songwriter Barry Clyde.

It’s one of the songs the audience at this year’s Brooklyn Folk Festival at St. Ann’s Church in Brooklyn Heights will hear Clyde play during his performance.

“I’ve been playing a lot of old music but, you know, learning from people like Mississippi John Hurt and Dave Van Ronk, I kind of incorporate a bit of a finger style with my playing since I’ve been playing solo for the past 15 years or so,” said Clyde, who also works at RetroFret Vintage Guitars in Brooklyn.
