We had a great crowd last weekend when Clockwork played at The Westside on Harlan's downtown square. People were having a good time and dancing from the very first set. We pulled out all of our new songs and were happy to see and hear the appreciation from the crowd. What a great place to play! We are pleased to report that we will be returning to the Westside on Saturday March 13th. Hope to see you there!

What better way to end 2009 and welcome 2010 than to party in a barn! . . . a really really old german barn! With beer! Clockwork will be in Manning at the Hausbarn to celebrate New Years Eve and also Bob Stessman's (a local pharmacist . . . and we all love pharmacists) birthday. This party is open to the public with NO COVER CHARGE. Just in case you didn't get that the first time . . . NO COVER CHARGE! We think it's going to be a ton of fun so come on out and do something fun this New Years Eve instead of sitting around watching the ball drop an hour too late in New York. So in summary: Hausbarn, Manning, New Years Eve, Bob, Beer, No cover, be there!

We've been busy working on ways to keep everyone updated with Clockwork.  We are happy to announce that you can now add a Clockwork Planning Guide widget to your website, MySpace, Facebook, Blogger, and many more.  This widget will automatically stay updated with our current schedule.  As soon as we add a date, it will show up on your widget.  Check it out here!

Clockwork has the priviledge of playing at a benefit for Kiersten Rose, niece of Clockwork guitarist Chris Will. 4 year old Kiersten was recently diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) and although her prognosis is good her family will have extensive medical bills due to her 2-3 year treatment. The benefit for Kiersten and her family will be at the Elks Lodge in Council Bluffs, IA on Saturday October 20th. A silent auction will be held from 4-7PM, a spagetti dinner will start at 5-5:30PM, and we will start playing around 7PM until about 11PM. Even if you don't know Kiersten or the Rose family come have some spagetti, buy something you do or don't need, and do some dancing. You'll be doing something good and having fun at the same time.
