Wed 11/2 Clumsy Lovers @ Half Door in Hartford, CT

I absolutely LOVE this band out of Vancouver: The Clumsy Lovers. I even have a t-shirt. These people are no joke.

The first time I saw them, I was out with my friend Tom and my cousin Suzy. We just stumbled into Half Door on a spontaneous Friday night out for a fine draft. We had no clue if there was a band and we were blessed by the music gods: Clumsy Lovers were in da house. The five member band have a banjo player who was #1 in Canada as a teenager and the lady plays one of the meanest fiddles around. The lead singer is pretty darn cute.

The first song, we were dancing. By the third, we had gotten the tambourine. By song #7 we were on stage with the band. It was awesome. Their music is a fusion of folk, rockabilly, blues, ska, country and je ne sais quoi. The only thing you know is that it translates directly to your feet as...DANCE, mofo!

I'm very excited that they are coming to Hartford again and hope you will join me tomorrow at Half Door!
