Arts at the Armory welcomes Alec Ounsworth—best known as the founder of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah—to the Spotlight Stage on October 9, 2026.
Long recognized for his guitar-led performances, Ounsworth is now exploring a more pared-down approach at the piano—bringing a new level of intimacy and emotional clarity to songs that helped define the early 2000s indie scene.
As the driving force behind Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Ounsworth built a devoted following through a fiercely independent, direct-to-fan approach in the early days of music blogging and MySpace. That commitment to artistic autonomy earned admiration from artists like David Byrne and David Bowie.
Following a run of intimate European shows, this performance offers a rare opportunity to hear Ounsworth’s work reimagined—up close and in a new light.
“The holistic craftsmanship of Ounsworth’s musicality is impressive.” – Allmusic
“the sort of live-wire creativity that keeps music careers going longer than early skeptics could have imagined.” – NPR
Doors open at 7:00 PM
Show begins at 8:00 PM
Arts at the Armory serves delicious locally sourced food and drink at the Performance Hall bar when doors open (usually one hour before the show). Please arrive early to enjoy dinner and drinks before the event. The full menu can be viewed HERE. Check out Parking/Directions and FAQs for more information about our venue.
