Clutch Draggin' and the Lug Nuts
This group formed as a request from Dennis Nultemeier to play a charity event for a local car club in support of the Community Food Bank. Three of us had never worked together before but we all felt that this was a worthy cause for us to support. Who knows? Maybe someday we'd need the food bank services ourselves; after-all we are musicians! We had a such a great time playing out together we decided to stay together and develop as a band. Our current repertoire is mainly classic rock/surf music from the late 50's through the early 70's with a very small smattering of classic country music; after all this is Tucson.
