Clovis Mann

Smokestack Lightnin' Home Page -- The Blues Profile Page

Fresh off their third full-length studio effort titled Metamorphic, Clovis Mann is confidently embracing the changes that life often presents a rock band. Only one year after Dan Plourde replaced bassist and founding member Stosh Jonjak, drummer and founding member Ethan Noordyk has taken his talents to Augusta, Maine. Filling the void will be a stellar group of musicians, namely Jamie Zander and Craig Baumann among possible others. But none of this has fazed the sole remaining founder of the band, guitarist and chief songwriter, Dan Walkner.

Gathering a cast of musicians looming in the background including Pat Ferguson of the Smokin' Bandits, the band's live experience is growing and developing into a must-see Midwest staple.
