Clint
Bierman
Call me Clint,
Glenn, Clark, Clem, Reggie, or Stalin. I sing, play guitar, and
co-write in The Grift.
I definitely
got my musical inspirado from my family. Both my brothers, my nephew,
my brother-in-laws, my mom, and my dad play music on a fairly regular
basis and I grew up listening to music all the time. Although I
started with piano, I eventually learned to play a number of instruments
including guitar, bass, mandolin, and banjo.
Not only am
I into playing music, but I also enjoy producing. I started my own
record label called GlennSource Records and currently have released
8 different records for 6 different artists (Clint Bierman, Sunday
Slide, The Grift, Big Gil, Laura Thomas, and The Green Gold Groove).
My dad, Big Gil, recently recorded his follow up to the smash CD
All Mixed Up and Not For Sale and released Still Mixed up But Now
Considering Offers. Along with a multitude of extremely talented
musicians and friends including Jamie Masefield of The Jazz Mandolin
Project and Adam Frehm of Smoking Grass, we really captured the
essence of Big Gil's spirit. I have also worked with a great singer-songwriter
Laura Thomas on her release On My Sleeve. And finally, my boys from
Middlebury, VT, The Green Gold Groove. This is the best high school
band around and they keep getting better. There first full length
will be released in the upcoming year. Stay tuned. At this time
I'd like to give a a shout out to Rian Alfiero, a killer producer,
who has worked with me on almost all of these. Someday I hope to
expand the label to include more artists so if anyone is interested
in producing an album, let me know!
I
have been listening to an eclectic range of music recently including
Zep, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, CSN, Sublime, Coldplay, Bela Fleck,
J5, DMB, Phish, Dead, Allmans, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, Mama's
and the Papa's, REM, Jack Johnson, Dispatch, The Shantee, The Beatles,
Bruce Hornsby, Counting Crows, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Gov't Mule, Incubus,
Little Feat, Maroon 5, Outkast, Paul Simon, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd,
Richard Cheese, Rage, The Samples, The Stones, Stevie Wonder, U2,
Panic, and Tenacious D.
I play a PRS
Hollowbody 2 through a Bogner Shiva with a few different pedals
including but not limited to: Ibanez tube screamer (Analogman Silver
Mod), Mutron, Boss Delay, A Carl Martin (Hungis) Compressor, a Pigtronix
EP-01, a Pigtronix "Stereo Umph" (clean boost), a Fulltone SupaTrem
(modified with expression pedal), a Boss Octave pedal, and a CryBaby
wah. In addition I play a couple different loop pedals (the boss
loop station and the Boomerang) whenever possible and have just
a real good time noodling. Very Therapeutic.
I enjoy bagel
bites, VH1, travel, board games, playing black-jack, Texas Hold
'Em, that trivia you sometimes find in bars where you get your own
controller and rack up player's points, those little bright orange
crackers with peanut butter, and buffalo chicken sauce.
