David C Clements
David C Clements has been grabbing the attention of music lovers through his exceptional live performances for quite some time. His is an epic and ethereal alternative folk with swelling melodies and vocals, touched with the ache of experience retelling tales that feel both insightful and familiar.
Clements was already a well-respected musician having cut his teeth performing with former band SixStarHotel, yet it is his solo material that demands most attention, resulting in performances with Ed Sheeran and Passenger as well as collaborations with Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol).
David has been recording tracks with Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles; Jacknife has recently produced records for Snow Patrol, The Killers, Neil Diamond and U2.
Most recently David performed at the Ward Park Free event as part of the build-up to Snow Patrol’s Ward Park 3 weekend. He also took to the acclaimed Other Voices stage in Belfast this summer.
Clements released his debut album ‘The Longest Day In History’ in 2016 to critical acclaim.
Skilfully balanced between anthemic, heartfelt and Springsteenesque
The Irish Times
The brilliant title track is a slice of indie-pop perfection and sees Clements move away from Americana into epic shoe-gazey electric guitar-centric goodness that recalls Iain Archer at his very best.

David C Clements could just be the pick of the new Northern Ireland singer-songwriter bunch

[Hurricane is] still one of the greatest pieces of music ever to be made by a Northern Irish artist.
