Coming to the newly reopened Old Confidence Lodge is Clem Chesterfield!
Call him “country” or “outlaw” but Kingston (ON) based entertainer Clem Chesterfield’s self described definition is, “cosmic cowboy meets alt-country… in a fancy sequin suit”. Clem Chesterfield is the alter ego of singer/songwriter Tim Sheffield who began his music career in the 1980’s in rock and blues based bands. In 2016 Sheffield found himself with a group of original songs that he could only describe as ”country in nature”. He knew the perfect persona to deliver those songs, “Clem Chesterfield”, his version of a working class hero embracing “cowboy chic”. The songs were crafted into 2017’s debut release, The Chronicles Of Clem Chesterfield. Clem on vocals and acoustic guitar was joined by Jason Euringer (Sarah Harmer Band) on upright acoustic bass and Burke Carroll (George Fox, Murray McLauchlan, Ian Tyson) on pedal steel and dobro guitars. Together they presented these new songs with a fresh take on the Classic Country sound which includes an essential Everyman viewpoint identifying as pure Canadiana.
