Michael Clem & Paul Bell @ Ferlazzo 1938 (Culpeper VA)

A last minute booking through a longtime college chum, gives Paul Bell and myself a chance to meet halfway between our Charlottesville & Rileyville homes:  CULPEPER!

This will be our first time at this new up and coming space in Culpeper…. Join us!

When old musical acquaintances of many years meet at a mutual friend’s memorial service to discover their present professional situations afford them the opportunity to play together – they jump on it!

That’s what happened when these two Wammie winners from slightly different ends of the musical spectrum (rock & folk) connected.  Paul Bell (longtime DC area guitar stalwart & Nighthawks alum) and Michael Clem (31-year member of NoVA-based Eddie from Ohio) began picking and grinning throughout Central Virginia and in the Metro area.  While not a full time act, it’s always a joyful chemistry, with Clem’s left-of-center originals and Bell’s impeccable Telecaster wizardry.
