The Clements Brothers are George and Charles Clements, identical twins from New England. They’ve been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember and ‘The Clements Brothers’ marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band, ‘The Lonely Heartstring Band’ with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records. With roots, rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical influences, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice, at once enthralling and intimate, groovy and serene.  The duo is a fusion of each brother's unique musical journey, and the result is a music all its own, filled with vocal harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and a genuine love of song.

The band was formed in 2023 when working musician friends came together to express their love for super funky music. The Funky Flats’ style is original funky music inspired by the scratchy guitars, bright brassy horns and tight rhythm sections of the funk masters of the 1970s. 

Since forming in 2023, the band has amassed a set of 15 original and 20 funky cover songs, which are designed to make it impossible for audiences to stay in their seats. In the spring of 2024, the band completed recording a four song, EP entitled “The Home Cookin EP”, which was completely written, performed, recorded, engineered and mastered by the band.
