October 28 – Cleveland – The Grog Shop
The Clarks have been around for over two decades and are still going strong, although they’re still relatively unknown outside of the Midwest. Tonight, they’ll make an appearance at The Grog Shop, along with Cobalt and the Hired Guns
The Clarks describe themselves with pride as a band that’s “always fashionably in style and fashionably out of style all at the same time. They’ve never struck arena-rock poses – never had any gimmicks or affectations at all. They just get onstage and get it done. And they’ve never found a reason to do it any other way. Because if your casual college band turned into a career dream come true, complete with airtime on ‘Late Show with David Letterman‘ and more than a quarter-million albums sold – and you managed to do it while remaining based in the hometown where your families, friends and biggest fans are – why tamper with success?” That sentiment still stands, but as the title of their new album suggests, the band is getting a bit ‘restless’…
The Clarks are:
Scott Blasey: Lead Vocals, Electric & Acoustic Guitars
Robert James: Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Vocals
Greg Joseph: Bass Guitar, Vocals
Dave Minarik: Drums, Vocals.
