[2] He has shared the stage with Bobby Bandiera, John Eddie, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Jimmy Vivino, and Clarence Clemons.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Clemons was affectionately known as "Nicky" to family and friends as a child and eventually began using the name Nick, a shortened version of the middle name he shares with his famous father[3] and grandfather.

He soon moved to Ocean City, Maryland, and set to work developing his own musical chops by playing local gigs with another Jersey boy, guitar player Joe Boris of the jam band One-Eyed Jack.

Nick worked for 5 years with Jersey cover band Bare Wires featuring Dave DeSantis on Drums, Markus Barth on Bass and Jim Keegan on guitars.

Nick's other artistic interests include acting, and building a production company to develop and manage other musicians, as well as producing events for charity.
