The Clam Tostada

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator > The Clam Tostada originated in 2001 amid the rural urbanity of Barrio Sin Nombre near downtown Tucson. Mark Ryan and Mark Anthony, who were neighbors at the time, discovered common ground over Mexican beer and guitars. T. Greg Squires joined the band in July '07 as drummer/percussionist, and Bruce Blackstone has been playing guitar and harmonica with the band since June '08.
