The Clement Brothers Take You on an Americana Journey

KPTZ is excited to join Rainshadow Recording in welcoming the Clements Brothers to the Palindrome in Port Townsend on January 16 at 7:30pm. George and Charles Clements and their band are on an ever-evolving journey into Americana music. With roots, rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical influences, they aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice, at once enthralling and intimate, groovy and serene. The brothers have been playing and writing music together since as long as they can remember and The Clements Brothers marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band ‘The Lonely Heartstring Band’. The duo is a fusion of each brother’s unique musical journey, and the result is a music all its own, filled with vocal harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and a genuine love of song.

We learned last time how the Chinese General Luguang had been sent to subdue the Silk Road Kingdom of Kucha and bring back Kumarajiva. Upon returning to Wuwei, he found a new emperor on the throne, so he refused to return the monk and created his own kingdom with the dusty garrison town of Wuwei as its captal.
