"Clinton bowls you over with a subtle but powerful performance with songs that stay locked in your head as well as your heart"
- JEFF LIBERTY, KV STYLE MAGAZINE (MAR 20, 2009)
"He doesn’t waste time with extended solos, pointless narratives or stories that go nowhere, and as a result, Parade is highly repeatable"
- HEROHILL.COM, HEROHILL (JUN 25, 2009)
"A gem of an album! Heartfelt, Sincere, Just what the doctor ordered"
- LLOYD DOYLE, SANDBAR MUSIC GROUP (MAY 28, 2009)
"It's hard to keep a band together in this town" Clinton remarked the night his former band, The Carousels, rocked a small Saint John pub for the last time. But by the time that day had come, the energetic front man known for his hard driving guitars and raspy vocals, had already recorded his decidedly more intimate solo EP, These Stars We See, which was released through Sandbar Music, the same label where Two Hours Traffic and Catherine MacLellan released their first discs.
Since that time, the multi-instrumentalist has been honing his folk sensibilities and songwriting while recording a 6 song disc with friend and Reckless Sweethearts songstress, Tracey Lavigne.
Including songs that have become performance staples like Words, and Angels of Canterbury Street, Clinton's upcoming full length album promises to feature some of his most personal, and raw original material to date.

thanks Clinton, no vocals on there yet, I guess I'm just gonna put up some instrumental home demos for now. I'll be back in NB over christmas, I'm hoping you'll have a show! Also I'm hoping to get back at the music when I move back to Hampton/SJ, maybe we can collaborate again. The tunes from "Parade" sound great man! Take care.
Hey thanks! The gig a the Vintage as a couple weeks ago. It went over pretty good I think- first time out and all. I'm trying to get another one somewhere. Cheers!
