michael cleary band

The Michael Cleary band is a Hartford institution. They are celebrating their 19th year of making original Funk/Rock music with a twist and have been called Hartford's answer to the Allman Brothers. The MCB is a perennial favorite in the Hartford Advocate's reader's poll and previous winners of the "Best Rock" and "Best Jam Band" categories. They have played with Tower of Power, Little Feat, Average White Band, Joan Osbourne, Peter Wolf, NRBQ and countless other regional and national acts. Their music is described as World beat, Latin, rock-funk with a touch of Americana. Groovy, enlightening and silly. sometimes all at the same time



Dan Berry of the Hartford Advocate calls them "A great working-class band with a great live show!"
