The Clements Brothers are George and Charles Clements, identical twins from New England. They’ve been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember and ‘The Clements Brothers’ marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band, ‘The Lonely Heartstring Band’ with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records. With roots, rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical influences, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice, at once enthralling and intimate, groovy and serene. Their first album 'Dandelion Breeze' was released in 2023 on Plow Man Records and their sophomore record is set to be released in the Fall of 2026.  The duo is a fusion of each brother's unique musical journey, and the result is music all its own, filled with vocal harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and a genuine love of song.

“Dandelion Breeze is an album that unassumingly and softly seeps into your soul and stakes its claim as one of the year’s best debuts.” - Mike Davies, KLOF Magazine

“With the release of their debut full-length album, Dandelion Breeze, The Clements Brothers add a new dimension to the concept of blood harmony. They have created a collection of songs that make the most of the uncanny blend of their voices.” - Nancy Posey, No Depression

“The Clements Brothers weave a gossamer sound, their conjoined voices…reminiscent of classic laid-back singer-songwriters of past years.” - Paul Kerr, Americana UK

“The Clements Brothers have woven a tapestry of folk and Americana that tugs at the heartstrings and soothes the soul.  Dandelion Breeze is a triumph for The Clements Brothers, a testament to their growth as artists and storytellers. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates soul-stirring folk music that lingers in the heart and mind. With its compelling narratives and captivating melodies, it’s an album that will undoubtedly stand the test of time. – Jason Felton, Record Dept.

Cold Chocolate is a genre-bending Americana band that fuses folk, funk, and bluegrass to create a unique sound all their own. Featuring Ethan Robbins on guitar/mandolin and Ariel Bernstein on drums/banjo, this power duo from Boston is impressing audiences throughout New England and beyond. Punctuated by tight harmonies and skillful musicianship, and with a focus on songwriting, Cold Chocolate has quickly gained recognition for their original music and high-energy shows. The band has shared bills with Leftover Salmon, David Grisman, Angelique Kidjo, and regularly performs at venues and music festivals across the country.

The estimable Boston duo of Ethan Robbins (vocals/guitar/mandolin) and Ariel Bernstein  (vocals/percussion/banjo) have been making high-quality roots music nonstop since the pair met in 2012...The single “I Know This Girl” has enough grit, drive and backbeat to make Cold Chocolate worthy heirs to The Band.

Cold Chocolate “sounds softer than the dew on the mountainside, harder than a Harley pushing back red dust, sweeter than true love.” --Simon Waxman, The Boston Review

​

​“Opening with a smooth and soulful organ and maintaining a laid back groove punctuated by slinky guitar playing, the song is a feel-good meditation…Blending Americana, jammy West Coast rock and roll and even the loose, flowing spirit of jazz, the song captures the band’s talent for writing poignant and catchy songs while bottling up their creative live energy in a studio recording.” --Glide Magazine

​

​“Aloft a roadhouse funk setup, Cold Chocolate addresses some of life’s more profound truths.” --Melissa Clarke, Americana Highways

​

"Cold Chocolate may have started in the rootsy, bluesgrass realm but have evolved into more jam rock with shades of jazz and funk.  It makes for a fine musical blend...Part of the band's charm are Robbins and Bernstein's harmonies, which add a layer of sweetness to their beguiling melodies.  It comes together to make their music spirited and uplifting." --Mayer Danzig, Twangville

"The evolution and metamorphosis of a band or artist is an inevitable thing. Particularly with those to whom creativity seems to flow like a raging river and who’s veins are filled flush with soul and vibe. Cold Chocolate is one of those bands. Over the years the adapting and growth of the self described “genre bending Americana band” has seen waves of straight acoustic, firey bluegrass, jam infused rock and even a folkier side." --Brian Carroll, Redline Roots
