“My hands in the dirt
My eyes open wide
I live by the rise
And the fall of the tide”

A seasoned musician with 11 albums under his belt and an upcoming DVD and CD release; he is a strong force on our local music scene. Using his experience with community development and his artistic sensibilities, Clint has been a vital part of the Redmond Arts Commission for the past three years. He has been involved in projects such as Arts in the Park, Redmond Digital Arts Festival, and hosting city wide open mics.
With a musical career that spans 18 years, Clint has opened for such acts as Devin Townsend (with other Alvarez signed artists), legendary guitarist Bill Frisel, and performed at SouthxSouthwest in support of The Hope Project to raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur. Clint has toured across the United States, Europe, and most recently Nepal, and has had the opportunity to play for people in the streets, inside ancient monastaries, and heading the Beaufort Musical Festival for thousands of people.
Clint’s roots run deep in the Northwest. Born and raised outside of Seattle, he was greatly influenced by his father, Don McCune of Exploration Northwest, and his strong love of this area. His music, community involvement, and continual collaborations with other artists reflect a true Pacific Northwest heart.
