The Clintons

We got our start about nine years ago at a frat party on the upper floor of the Story Mansion in Bozeman, Montana. Since then we’ve played almost 1000 shows which has allowed us to tour around the western half of the US and occasionally share the stage with some pretty cool and respectable bands like Dierks Bentley, Barenaked Ladies, Blackhawk, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers and the Kentucky Headhunters.  Most of our shows are at music venues that hold between 200 and 500 people.  We always feel like we know everyone in the room even when lots of people are seeing us for the first time.

We really live for playing shows but a close second to that is making records– taking our music ideas and carving them in stone.  We love to write the really greasy rock/country sellout songs just as much as we dig the off the wall, left field songs that nobody gets but us and our fans.  We’re currently writing for our seventh record due out sometime between 2011 and 2015, that is to say, it’ll happen, we just don’t know when!

We are:

John McLellan: Guiar, vocals

Levi Kujala: drums

Josh Keehr: percussion

A.J. Miller: bass
