Judson Claiborne is the experimental folk-rock project/moniker of Chicago-based songwriter and DJ
Christopher Claiborne Salveter. Raised in a Missouri river town-turned suburb, his earliest musical influences were the androgynous voices on oldies radio and MTV’s 120 Minutes. Chicago's independent music scene of the late 90s beckoned him north and he relocated there in 2000. Soon after, he started the group
Low Skies, who released four records and toured as the support act for
Neko Case,
Explosions in the Sky, and
Band of Horses. Low Skies’ final record,
All the Love I Could Find (2006) received an 8.1 on Pitchfork.
Salveter’s storytelling ranges from the autobiographical to the biographical, from the tender to gritty, from sexy to spooky, and from romantic to heartbreaking. Now almost 20 years and five records in, Judson Claiborne is set to release
Live Active Culture, Vol. 2 in May of 2025.
