The eccentric stumble-pop quintet The Sweet Clementines is led by songwriter/guitarist and music critic John Burdick. Somewhere between chamber music and a chaotic take on classic guitar pop, the Sweet Clementines approach the rock arts with vibraphones, violins, sophisticated vocal counterpoint and electronic accents, all in support of a huge body of unique and elegant songs. 

The New Paltz-based band features Burdick on guitar, vocals, and songs; bassist and recording specialist Jason Sarubbi;  drummer Matt Senzatimore; vocalist/violinist Marianne Tasick; and vibraphonist/keyboardist Paul Carroll.
