Clark Clifford — bassist, cellist, vocalist, Songwriter, Arranger

A bold start

Dig this: Clark Clifford, Berklee ’79 grad, has been shaping sound since 1961, when he started grooving at age 8 with the Warren Boys Choir. That early start set the tone for a lifelong run through soul, psychedelia, jazz, punk, blues, and beyond.

Decades in sound

The decades came in waves. The ’60s brought soul and psychedelia, the ’70s turned him toward jazz, the ’80s kicked up punk energy, the ’90s dug into the blues, and the 2000s brought a kind of sonic resurrection — a deeper, broader, more fearless sound.

2024: a sonic cocktail

By 2024, Clifford was blending jazz, neoclassical textures, and psychobilly into a mind-blowing sonic cocktail with a twist. The result is music that feels exploratory but grounded, vintage yet forward-looking, and personal without losing its edge.
