Hypnotic Clambake is originally from Boston, MA.
Their music combines a multitude of musical stylings
and elements into a cohesive mixture of swirling, infectiously
danceable music. The instrumentation for, and members of
Hypnotic Clambake are:

Maury Rosenberg - Accordion,Keyboards/Piano, Lead Vocals.

Maury, originally from Long Beach, NY, graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. He then became a rehearsal pianist with the Boston Ballet and has since performed with world-renowned cellist Yo Yo Ma. As an accordionist with Border Patrol, Maury's song writing attracted the attention of well-known musician David Lindley, who produced two of Maury's original works in the studio. Woody Allen used piano performances of Maury playing with the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, in his movie Deconstructing Harry. Maury is the founder and leader of Hypnotic Clambake.

JoAnn Vaccaro - Acoustic Guitar and Vocals.

JoAnn is a singer-songwriter from Rochester, NY. While her musical style is hard to fit into a single genre, she has been placed in the category of folk rock and is often compared to such pop music artists as
Ani Difranco, Tori Amos,
and Joni Mitchell.
Vaccaro has a very distinct guitar style characterized by finger-picking and flamenco-like strumming patterns. Her vocal lines range from sultry blues and jazz to rock, with lyrics which ignite out of an intense flare for poetry and ability to speak her mind. Don't miss her!

Chris Reynolds - Bass, Electric and Acoustic Guitars and Vocals.

After many years of touring around the country, Hypnotic Clambake has accumulated a vast collection of bugs in the grille of their RV. One day we removed one of the larger bugs, nursed it back to health, and soon discovered that it could actually play guitar. It's name, we discovered, is Chris Reynolds, a self taught guitar player out of Rochester, NY. He has played with many improv-based Rochester bands such as Kernal Wah, and Blac Ocean. He can also occasionally be heard on Chuck Miller's, Headspace radio show. Chris has vowed to stay away from the RV grille from now on...

Mark Phillips - Drums and Backing Vocals.

From Elmira, NY, Mark is a self-taught musician whose influences include, The Grateful Dead, The Pixies, Pavement, and The Allman Brothers. Mark has performed in several original projects including Cherry Gun, Race Car Bob, Norra, and The Thunder Gods.

Tim Hull - Tenor sax, Soprano Sax, Clarinet, and penny whistles.

Tim majored in Sound Recording Technology at SUNY Fredonia, where he was taught by grammy-winning producer
Dave Fridmann
(Flaming Lips). He also studied Saxophone and improvisation with New Zealander Bruce Johnstone (of Maynard Fergusen Band). While touring with the Fredonia Jazz ensemble, Tim was a featured arranger and soloist. Tim Hull's musicianship is outstanding and is a welcome voice at Hypnotic Clambake shows.
