Double Clutch Band was formed New Year’s Eve 2014 (Dec.31, 2013).
Our main goal as a band is to deliver a world class, smooth sound that makes you want to hear more. Our volume is pleasing, and our song selection will have you singing along. We bring style and class to the stage and are very family friendly.
I would love to bring our music to the rest of the world.
