At the beginning of the week, FLOOD and Fender announced a collaborative digital concert series titled the Vote Arts and Minds Sessions with the goal of encouraging folks to sign a petition to put the Arts & Music Funding Initiative—which would lead to increased arts and music education in public schools—on California’s November 2022 ballot. So far we’ve shared sessions with Palaye Royale and The Trims, and today’s session comes courtesy of Saddest Factory Records signee Claud.

From their apartment in Brooklyn, Claud performs a track from their recent debut album Super Monster as well as the more recent single “Tommy” on guitar. Between songs, they give a shoutout to School of Rock, a music program they attended while growing up in Chicago’s suburbs and which helped pave the way for their career in music. Check out the performance below, and keep an eye out for new sessions posted daily on FLOOD’s YouTube page.

And check out Claud along with Phoebe Bridgers and the rest of the Saddest Factory roster on the cover of the new FLOOD 12: The Los Angeles Issue .

You can help every student in every school across California gain access to arts and music education. Please sign the petition below to put the Arts & Music Funding Initiative on the November 2022 ballot.
