The Clementines

The band began some time ago when "Tabasco" Tim Dawson said goodbye to his solo days to enlist the help of some seasoned players to make his sound come alive. Rock starts with a beat, a drummer. Tim's old stage hand buddy, Lance "Jimbo" Paden was the first choice. Jimbo's been putting the kick in rock in Portland for years, and hell, he live's down the street. Furthermore he had a few string players in his arsenal. The bassist, Will Moye a business associate of Jimbo who is quite proficient on the four string. Will is solid. The guitarist, Aaron, "Kid Fresno" Santigian played bass for three or four years with Jimbo in the Godlings. When the offer was made, Kid Fresno jumped at the chance to return to the guitar, his native instrument. With the seasoned perfoming skills of Tabasco, and the additon of a sharp band, The Clementines are ready.
