Band Members:Fronting the band is, of course, Lil' Cliff...tickling people's souls with his greasy harmonica and rich baritone vocals. Cliff is a big bundle of energy and knows how to uplift the folks out there and make them leave their worries behind. It's no wonder that the Village Voice called Cliff, "A rising star on the Long Island blues scene."The newest member, on lead guitar, and a fine vocalist in his own right, is Dennis Phelps. An infamous Gretsch player, Dennis capably shoulders his role in the band either when soloing or laying in with the rhythm section. He always manages to convey his deep emotional love for this music through his distinctive playing.Sharing lead vocals and playing the stand-up bass is Rick Street. In addition to his solid bass playing, Rick also writes and arranges for the band, but he is always careful to bring a strong, stable bottom end for the band's soloists to depend onWe are pleased to welcome back a native Long islander and former member of “Lil Cliff and the Cliffhangersâ€. Frank Patterson is an accomplished artist who brings a high level of musical skill and accomplishments to the band.
He distinguished himself as a member of the U.S. Air Force Band playing before distinguished audiences in venues throughout Europe. Frank is a talented drum set player who will once again be an important contributor to the continued success of “Lil Cliff and the Cliffhangers.
