Clockwork

Please click the play button to listen to a sample MP3

Clockwork is a seven-piece band featuring two dynamic, exciting lead vocalists: Ken and Jamie. Saxophone, keyboards, guitar, drums, and bass round out the lineup. Three of the instrumentalists sing lead vocals, too, giving them the musical luxury of variety and versatility, and allowing them to perform music spanning as many genres as it does decades. You name it, and they can play it!

The talented members of the band have performed with the likes of Aretha Franklin, The Four Tops, Natalie Cole, Lou Rawls, and The Temptations, been recognized by Billboard Magazine, and released numerous recordings.

Their philosophy about playing weddings is simple: it's your day. They will go completely by your rules, or you can leave everything up to their expertise; it's up to you. Want them to stick to a list of songs or musical styles that you provide? Want them to not play the chicken dance no matter how much your Aunt Doris requests it? Want your brother to play guitar with the band, or have Uncle Fred sing "New York, New York"? None of this is a problem; they are completely accommodating to any requests you may have of them.

Here are a few things people are saying about "Clockwork":

Ron,

Sara and I did not have a chance to catch up with you after the end of the party last night. We just wanted to thank you so much for an AMAZING night. We can't really put into words how incredible the band was. You had the entire party on the dance floor the entire night. The sets were perfect; your selections of songs worked so well with our guests, and there was a little something for everyone. Sara and I received comments from dozens of guests about how great you guys played; it was perfect.

We knew that we had found a great band when we booked Clockwork earlier this year, and your performance last night exceeded even our highest expectations. We want to thank you and all the band members for bringing so much energy and passion to the music; you all looked like you were having so much fun and that just rubbed off on our guests.

It has been a pleasure to get to know you and work with you. You and the band played a huge role in giving us the perfect wedding day, and we are so thankful. Once we return from our honeymoon in about two weeks, we'll be getting a tip in the mail for all of you.

Good luck with the rest of your wedding season, and thanks again to the whole band for a simply amazing evening.

Best,

Sara and Tim

Dear Ron -

Thank you, thank you!! We can't rave enough about how thrilled we are that Clockwork performed at our wedding! The overall experience was just exceptional - and I mean everything - every single detail of working with you couldn't have been any better. Hiring a band was a big decision for us since it plays such a huge role in how much fun everyone has (forgetting everything else, if there's a good band and plenty of alcohol you know the event will be a smash!!). As you know, we didn't meet nor did we hear Clockwork perform live prior to our event. But after listening to music via your web site and speaking with you, we just "knew" that Clockwork was the perfect band for us. We were right - you guys rocked the house! Everyone said, "the band was amazing - where did you find them?" People are still talking about the band. Not only did the band sound fantastic, but you were a first rate MC. You knew just how to get the crowd going. You played a great set list - everything that we wanted. You did a kick butt hava nagila. The music was loud enough to get you dancing and having a good time, but not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation with the person next to you at the table (thank you for that!) Also, I really appreciate your willingness to allow my 95-year-old grandma play your keyboard during a break. Not every band would be (or has been) so gracious. Finally, as a business executive I must acknowledge your top level of professionalism and excellent communication skills. You responded promptly to all phone calls and e-mails, plus you were always enthusiastic and expressed a genuine desire to please us (which you did!!). It's a very unique and valued combination to find someone who seamlessly combines creativity with good business practices (especially in the music industry, which I know since I've worked in the business for many years). Oh - I almost forgot to mention what a great job you did performing keyboards for our ceremony!

We would unhesitatingly recommend you! Actually, one of our guests already got your business card. Please feel free to share this e-mail and give my e-mail address to prospective clients if you should need a referral.

Thank you again! You really, really made our wedding special and your contribution will always be remembered and appreciated!!

Our best,

Nancy & Mike

Hi Ron-
We are back from Newport and back to reality now that the wedding is over!
:-(
We couldn't wait to write you an email to say THANK YOU so much for making
our wedding an amazing night for us and all our guests! You guys were truly
awesome! The next morning at our brunch we heard so many wonderful
compliments about the band and we haven't stopped hearing them. We honestly
appreciate how easy and great you were to work with all along. It turned
out to be the best night of our lives. We will be smiling for a long time
thinking about the night you guys put on for our guests! We have always
said the band can make the night, and you guys 100% did!

It is so great to see a group of people so talented, doing what you love!

If you ever need a recommendation for a bride and groom we would be more
than happy to let them know how amazing you guys are! Feel free to forward
my contact info anytime.

You guys are by far the best band we have ever seen! You were right on when
you said Ken does a good rendition of Shout! I was laughing thinking about
how I was so worried about it getting played... so glad you did! The guests
and me included loved it :-)

Thank you again!!
Lindsay and Steve

PS... The day after the wedding we were hanging out at a bar watching a live band and Steve text one of his groomsmen saying we wished him and his wife were there hanging out with us. His friend text back "If it was the band from lastnight, we would drive back to Newport in a second"
