    • Music Interviews

Dan Maines, bassist and founding member of the iconic hard rock band CLUTCH, is my guest this week! Dan and I connected just before Clutch's show at Vinyl Music Hall in Pensacola on May 12. We talk touring, family, record label changes & what keeps Clutch going after all these years. The band released its 13th full-length album Sunrise on Slaughter Beach on September 16, 2022.
Dan describes the special bond he shares with the other three members of the band — all of whom met while attending Seneca Valley High School in Germantown, MD 35 years ago. The foursome have continuously recorded and toured since the release of their first independent EP Pitchfork in 1991.
Clutch wraps up its April/May New World Samarai Tour on May 19 — then embarks on its first tour of Latin America on July 18! The band returns to North America for a September/October "Two-Headed Beast" co-headlining tour with Rival Sons.
Dan plays the Fender Precision Bass, Rickenbacker 4003 & Gibson EB-3 Bass.
Be sure to visit Clutch's web site for merch, tour & band news — and follow the band across the socials. You can find the limited edition Transnational Speedway League signed 12" LP; Sunrise on Slaughter Beach 7" Box Set (Limited), CDs, apparel & more.
