An evening with CCB tomorrow night @ Elbow Room, Leeds

<p><span>Claire Cameron Band&rsquo;s music is inventive and catchy, fusing genres of rock, folk, metal, pop, and acoustic music to create a superb, melody driven sound.&nbsp;<br />Claire Cameron Band have a dynamic and compelling stage presence; with Claire fronting the band on piano and vocals, distinctive guitarist Pete Nash, the superb Mike James on Bass, and striking drummer Jim Gaylard.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span><br />'The music of Claire Cameron Band takes a cross section of almost every genre imaginable and flits between them in a surprisingly cohesive manner. Rock, metal, folk and prog all have a place on &lsquo;Time I Start&rsquo; as the captivating voice of front-woman Claire, along with the hooky choruses, drive the song forwards. &lsquo;No Illusions&rsquo; is gentler but equally well constructed with sweeping guitar from Pete Nash while subtle keyboard parts offer a perfect backdrop to the powerful vocals. &lsquo;Question Every Day&rsquo; sees the rock vibe return with a vengeance as the rhythm section kicks things up a notch and the ending guitar solo reaches just the right level of self-indulgence to be really satisfying. Overall the effect is very &lsquo;Fleetwood Mac-meets-Imogen Heap&rsquo; but with something a little more volatile and fiery lurking below the melodic surface. After several years on the circuit it is great to see that Claire has found a band with which her talent can truly thrive. Rebecca Atkinson, No Title Magazine</span></p>
