Clem Fandango - After playing in local bands The Neighbors, Super Jones Affair, and Mother May I in the late 1900s, sharing stages with NRBQ, Roy Orbison, Paul Westerberg, Smashing Pumpkins and Marshall Crenshaw among others, accused singer songwriter and former Zamboni driver Peter Gilstrap left the area at sundown for the deserts of the west.
Now, he has returned to the DMV with a burning desire to play music at any cost. So far, it’s been well over $200.
Joined by the formidable talents of Bill Williams, Edward O’Connell, Scott McKnight and Antoine Sanfuentes veterans of Last Train Home, Jelly Roll Mortals, Dede and the Do-Rights, Little Red & the Renegades, the Half Smokes and Kevin Johnson and the Linemen—Clem Fandango was born.
It’s an earworm buffet of Gilstrap’s original songs inspired by the work of Nick Lowe, George Jones, Burt Bacharach, The Move, The Replacements, and pre-mustache Beatles. Get it while it’s hot.
