Michael Cleary Band - MCB

Michael Cleary - Guitar, Vocals

Michael Cleary Singer, songwriter, producer and guitarist extraordinaire Michael Cleary has been performing and making music for 30 years. He studied music theory, improvisation and music engineering at Berklee and Wesleyan and has taught guitar to hundreds of students. Vin Delaria describes him this way; "Like Count Basie , he puts together the best and brightest musicians around and lets them loose in a format where they can shine" .

Lee Sylvestre - Guitar, Vocals

Lee Sylvestre first came to our attention when MCB played with The Bill Carleton Band and Lee's brilliant guitar playing and singing caught the ear of the band. Since then MC has been a big fan and when Lee parted ways with BCB he was immediately asked to join the MCB. Lee also plays a mean acoustic and you can catch him doing the occasional duo gig with MC as well.

Vince Delaria - Keyboard, Vocals

Vince (Vincenzo) Delaria plays organ, piano, clavinet and whatever other sounds help to color the MCB sound. Vin is a strong supporting player with big ears who always is thinking out of the box trying to coax the most out of the music. Also, a strong soloist, his pianistic style runs the gammut from the funky jazz of Joe Sample to the foot-stompin' rock of Nicky Hopkins and Chuck Leavell, while on organ there's a little bit of Jimmy Smith, Greg Rolie and everything in-between. Vin has toured the US and Canada extensively both as a musical director and sideman and has appeared on recordings by The Hornets, Joe Flood and, of course, MCB.
