Clover-Lynn, also known as hillbillygothic, is an American bluegrass and gothic country musician and TikToker. She is the banjoist of the band Clover-Lynn and The Hellfires.
Clover-Lynn grew up in rural Franklin County, Virginia. Her family has lived in the Appalachia region of the Virginian Blue Ridge Mountains for over two-hundred years. She was raised in the Baptist tradition.
Clover-Lynn grew up listening to country and bluegrass music, citing The Stanley Brothers, Flatt and Scruggs, and Rhiannon Giddens as early influences. She worked in the tech industry on the west coast before moving back to Virginia to pursue a career in music.[1] She is the lead of the band Clover-Lynn and the Hellfires, formerly called the Laurel Hells Ramblers. In 2024, she performed at the Floyd Country Store music venue in Floyd County, Virginia.
Becks is a queer scholar and musician, focusing their work on community engagement and placemaking through music and agriculture. As a musician, Becks works to create events that bridge the divisions in communities. Their scholarship focuses on the inherent queerness of Appalachian music and the importance that music traditions hold, both in Appalachian communities and the queer community. They also work hands-on in local food systems, working on farm projects and learning about small-scale farming in mountain communities.
