Meet THE CLARENCES, a melody driven, power pop rock band hailing from Oakland, California. THE CLARENCES offer a fresh perspective on the often formulaic pop band routine. Their music AND their concerts are lively, sometimes silly and always rocking.
Members include: Robert A. Medeiros (guitars, keyboards & vocals), Molly Blue (synthesizers & vocals), Carlos Nieto II (basses & vocals), Trixie X (harpsichords, tambourines & vocals) and Amanda White (glockenspiels, keyboards, tambourines & vocals).
THE CLARENCES believe there is one thing that will never let you down, and that's 'Rock 'N Roll'!!!!
