Clarence "King Clarentz" Brewer

Picture
Clarence Brewer, better known as King Clarentz around the Ozark mountain area where he's a fixture of the local scene, mixes the infectious boogie rhythms of John Lee Hooker with the edgier juke joint modalism of R.L. Burnside and up-to-the-minute lyrics for a blend that's both irresistible and unique in modern blues. Born in 1950, Brewer has developed a strong local following in the Ozarks as a blues performer, sculptor and folk artist. (His woodcuts adorn the cover art of his debut album.) Playing slide on a Sears and Roebuck Silvertone guitar while spinning tales of voodoo, politics gone wrong, the devil's den, fast food killing the populace, and bad women and whiskey, King Clarentz is a totally modern-thinking, cutting-edge bluesman. 

King Clarentz will be taking fairgoers on a music tour of Depression-era blues that came out of the Mississippi Delta and moved north to Chicago during the Great Migration. We are ecstatic to have King Clarentz on board, as he is a powerful performer with a deep knowledge of African American folkways. If you would like to keep up with King Clarentz, you can like him on Facebook here.
