Last year was a big one for Ladybird. In 2025, the Milwaukee alt-country outfit played pretty much every notable local festival and block party (including a headlining set at our inaugural Morgan Park Picnic!), earned a few impressive opening slots, and celebrated the release of its sophomore album—the critically acclaimed Clementine—with a pair of sold-out Cactus Club outings. Along the way, the band also found time to get out of town and embark on a few short tours.
Moments from one such tour takes center stage in Ladybird’s new “Clementine” music video. The title track’s visual pairing—shot and edited by local videographer and frequent Ladybird collaborator Sam Ghani—shows the band traveling through Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. The 185-second tour film is an excellent blend of live show footage, gorgeous imagery of sweeping and relatively untouched American landscapes, and candid shots of band members in their element in hotel pools and beside roadside attractions.
While we wait to see what 2026 holds for the band, we highly recommend you get in the van with Ladybird and look back at last year’s tour highlights by watching the “Clementine” music video below.
