Biography

Born and raised in New Jersey, Clemons was affectionately known as "Nicky" to family and friends as a child and eventually began using the name Nick, a shortened version of the middle name he shares with his father^[3] and grandfather.

Nick did not begin to develop his own musical talents until later in life. His father had always envisioned he would pursue a career in law. After opening for a Clarence Clemons New Year's Show with a short acoustic set, Nick's path in life was set.

He soon moved to Ocean City, Maryland and set to work developing his own musical chops by playing local gigs with another Jersey boy, guitar player Joe Boris of the jam band One-Eyed Jack. The two started a band with bass player Andre Cholomondeley, from the Frank Zappa tribute band Project Object and veteran New Jersey drummer Bob Ramos. Nick's early band toured local venues along the East Coast and in California.

Musical style

Nick has been influenced and coached by such notable songwriters and producers as Jordan De la Sierra and Narada Michael Walden.

• Nick Clemons - lead vocals, harmonica
