Cure For Paranoia at The Creek and the Cave Backyard

Mar 14, 2025

11:50pm – 12:30am CT

The Creek and the Cave Backyard

CURE FOR PARANOIA is the powerhouse Dallas based collective of hip hop, jazz, and funk musicians founded by artist, performer, and songwriter CAMERON MCCLOUD. After releasing his debut project “2nd First Impression” in 2014 with Grammy-winning producer J. RHODES, McCloud was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, finding the best therapy for his condition in the form of collaboration and live performance. Cure For Paranoia is a Cameron McCloud project featuring Tomahawk Jonez & Jay Analog. Thus, CURE FOR PARANOIA was born.

In 2025, Cameron is dropping a verse a day called Project25. Every day. All Year. @cureforparanoia is where to find it.

CAMERON MCCLOUD’s dynamic R&B songwriting and clever rap lyricism are the centrifugal force of CURE FOR PARANOIA’s critically acclaimed full-band live show. The performance creates a lush sonic landscape around McCloud’s compositions with drums, keys, and horns featuring Dallas’ own WE THEM GRAYS. Their revered live performance has brought CURE FOR PARANOIA to stages like The Hollywood Bowl, South By Southwest, and the NPR Tiny Desk Concert Tour (as two-time finalists of the worldwide NPR Tiny Desk Contest).
