Zach Vetter - Guitar, Vocals

Zack Vetter A self taught guitar/songwriter, Zach definitely does things his own way! Upon graduating high school, formed Carfax Abby, a popular Manchester band. This power trio lasted 11 yrs, released 2 records and later disbanded in 2003...Along w/bass player Jeff Belcher from Carfax, he formed Jive Miguel, a 5 piece band (w sax) and had a great 5 yr run playing popular venues along w both casinos. In Zachs own words "I sat around writing songs for 2 yrs, got tired of that, checked out craigslist (last ditch effort) and found the Cleary family!"

He's fit in quite well taking over drinking duties from the rest, lead and harmony vox as well as single note muted dunk dunk dunk lines, voice box solos (do you feeeeeel?) and administers amplifier beatings regularly....did I mention he sings like an angel?

Vince Delaria - Keyboard, Vocals

Vince (Vincenzo) Delaria plays organ, piano, clavinet and whatever other sounds help to color the MCB sound. Vin is a strong supporting player with big ears who always is thinking out of the box trying to coax the most out of the music. Also, a strong soloist, his pianistic style runs the gammut from the funky jazz of Joe Sample to the foot-stompin' rock of Nicky Hopkins and Chuck Leavell, while on organ there's a little bit of Jimmy Smith, Greg Rolie and everything in-between. Vin has toured the US and Canada extensively both as a musical director and sideman and has appeared on recordings by The Hornets, Joe Flood and, of course, MCB.
