One of a select handful of musicians to have mastered both the chromatic and diatonic harmonica,Clint's work has earned him a place in the Encyclopedia of the Harmonica. From pre-war blues to modern jazz, Clint has delved deep into the musical possibilities of the harmonica. This 30 year love affair with the mouth organ began as a teenager when Clint stumbled across a Muddy Waters concert at his hometown State Fair.

Two of his most notable recordings are the jazz CD Dream of the Serpent Dog (made in collaboration with Bobby E. and Jim Chenoweth) and Take Your Time Mr. Brown by the jug band influenced group The Sugar Kings. Both have received rave reviews around the country and internationally.

His studies of a broad range of American musical styles has earned him the reputation of adaptability and musical flexibility. This, in turn, has led him to be sought after as a studio session player. Clint is also a highly respected harmonica educator with over 20 years of experience under his belt teaching private lessons and leading workshops. He is a longtime faculty member at the West Bank School of Music; Minneapolis Community and Technical College and The Homestead School of Folk Music. In New York City, he attended the Parsons/New School Jazz and Contemporary Music Program and studied with renowned classical harmonicist Robert Bonfiglio.

Currently, he works with about 5 or 6 groups doing everything from original roots rock to straight ahead jazz. Find out where you can hear him play on the Gigs page. Clint's latest CD On this Day features him leading his own jazz trio. Clint resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota with his wife Gretchen, and his dog Ripley (of Serpent Dog fame.)
