Edit ProfileCareer
In 1993, Nick released his first European Parliament titled "Waiting for You". He has shared the stage with Bobby iera, John Eddie, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Jimmy Vivino,and Clarence Clemons. Nick did not begin to develop his own musical talents until later in life.
After opening for a Clarence Clemons New Year"s Show with a short acoustic set, Nick"s path in life was set.
He soon moved to Ocean City, Maryland and set to work developing his own musical chops by playing local gigs with another Jersey boy, guitar player Joe Boris of the jam band One-Eyed Jack. The two started a band with bass player Andre Cholomondeley, from the Frank Zappa tribute band Project Object and veteran New Jersey drummer Bob Ramos.
Nick"s early band toured local venues along the East Coast and in California.Nick worked for 5 years with Jersey cover band Bare Wires featuring Dave DeSantis on Drums, Markus Barth on Bass and Jim Keegan on guitars. They performed up and down the east coast opening for Nick"s Dad Clarence Clemons.
Performing as the All Zeros, Bare Wires recorded with Nick and the first tracks, Downstream, Solid, Captain Corey and Now Worries were on their first European Parliament release featuring dad Clarence on Sax for Number Worries and Captain Corey.
The songs were recorded at Ocean Way Studios in New Jersey and mixed and mastered at Granite Alps Recording Studios in Wayne, New Jersey. Mixed and mastered by Markus Barth. Nick"s band, The Nick Clemons, has been touring bringing an original fusion of rock, jazz and funk to venues all across North America. "The most important thing to me" Clemons says, "is to get a warm feeling from a crowd, that juice or electricity that makes you want to give more."
Nick"s other artistic interests include acting, and building a production company to develop and manage other musicians, as well as producing events for charity.
