Sounds Like
"the love child of folksy acts Toad the Wet Sprocket, Dispatch, and Counting Crows, with a small touch of Americana roots" -Seth Kallen
"Once in a while you hear music that is so charming and timeless you get stopped dead in your thoughts and just have to bobb your head along. Thats these guys. Clive writes music in such a sweet and simple way, its perfect. I have this cd in my player daily." -Melody Gardot
Delaware’s own Clive stands somewhere between 90’s pop rock, early gospel, first grade music class, and campfire sing-alongs. The acoustic quintet finds inspiration anywhere from Charles M. Schulz’s “Peanuts” comic strip to the lofty writings of C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. Immediately catchy melodies sung over a backdrop of folk instruments set the scene, revealing musically crafted vignettes which range from British pubs to midwestern highways, ghost town saloons, and southern sanctuaries.
The whimsically-titled “Every Bubble in the Deep Blue Sea Got Swallowed in the Belly of a Shipwrecked Sailor” is Clive’s newest recording consisting of 8 original songs, available in August of 2008.
Some of the venues Clive has performed include: Milkboy Coffee - Ardmore, PA Grape Street - Philadelphia, PA Kahunaville - Wilmington, DE The Coffee Club - Media, PA 4W5 Cafe - Wilmington, DE Burlap and Bean - Newtown Square, PA Stoney's British Pub - Wilmington, DE Mojo 13 - Wilmington, DE Philadelphia University - Philadelphia, PA Pale Dog Tavern - Newark, DE The Lighthouse - Dewey Beach, DE Funderfest - Chadds Ford, PA

Thanks for the add! Good to have you as a friend! So great to see the internet in action this way, shortening distances between people. :) I hope all's well with you and that you enjoy checking out my web site at www.faberoptime.com some time. All the best for 2009! Take care and keep in touch. Best, Faber. "Just a guy trying to make the world a better place."
ah hah! I have tricked you, my friend. It's the same version. That one's pretty much done, aside from final mastering. And if it's live, you can pretty much make up anything you'd like and the crowd will go wild.
I'm getting down to the wire here, and VERY nervous.
