The Reach Around Rodeo Clowns
Formed in the early 1990's, The Reach Around Rodeo Clowns are considered to be one of the pioneering United States East Coast psychobilly bands. They have released two red hot collections that have earned the band a world wide reputation and devout fan base. Their vibe is rooted in the origins of rockabilly and rock n roll, but they have taken this
music to a whole new level. They have combined the rawness of rock, the soul and heartbreak of country, with the attitude of ‘77 punk, mixing it with hard hitting rhythms and riffs. The Reach Around Rodeo Clowns have blurred the distinction between past, present and future and have discovered a signature sound that has made them a genre onto themselves.
The band has already released two albums (Llist Records) and has toured endlessly off of them. The combination of the records and their touring has earned the Clowns tons of radio play as well as features in magazines like Hot Rod, CMJ Music Monthly and many more. Heard by millions, their music has been featured in films and on network television. “Google” them and you will find page after page that references the band. Brothers Quentin (guitar) and Wendell (lead vocals) Jones formed the band in Lancaster, PA. The band is rounded out with Dave Ferrara on drums and Linh Le on bass.
2009 started a new chapter of the Clowns’ story. Quentin launched Lanark Records and released the band’s back catalogue as Reach Around Rodeo Clowns Greatest Hits to fill the constant demand for their old favorites. The label plans new releases by Charlie Gracie and Nick Kane.
Another major event during 2009 was the addition to the Clowns’ line up of vocalist Ace Filipini. Ace has a long history with the band and in roots music. He is taking over the live singing duties from Wendell and splitting the lead vocals on the new Clowns’ recordings.
Quentin, Wendell, Ace, Dave and Lynn are putting the finishing touches on their new release Dark Days and Dark Nights. Tom “T-Bone” Edmonds, engineer for Lenny Kravitz since 1989, is mixing and co-producing the CD along with Quentin Jones. This project will set a new standard for roots music. Once again, this original band has raised the bar on everyone.
