If you have been waiting for a reason to get out to Kodak Center, Clutch on April 12 is it. This show has the kind of energy that turns a regular Sunday night into something you talk about for weeks afterward. The Finger Lakes concert calendar has plenty on it this spring, but this one stands out.
About Clutch
Clutch is a Maryland rock band that has been delivering groove-laden, blues-infused hard rock since the early 1990s, building one of the most respected catalogs in the genre through sheer consistency. Frontman Neil Fallon’s commanding voice and the band’s tight, riff-heavy sound have made them one of the most respected live acts in rock music. They have never chased trends, instead building a catalog and fanbase through pure quality and relentless touring. Clutch’s live shows are legendary among rock fans, with Fallon’s stage presence and the band’s locked-in grooves creating an experience that justifies every mile driven to see them. They are a musician’s band that regular fans love just as much.
