Ken: Lead Vocals
Alabama native Ken Brown displays an incredible range from Hip Hop, Gospel and Soul. Ken has drawn comparisons to Lou Rawls, Barry White, The Temptations’ David Ruffin, and Lionel Richie and his 6’1” chiseled frame and low smooth baritone voice has been known to melt the ladies. Ken has performed on stage and opened for such acts as The O’Jays, The Temptations, Taylor Dane, The Marcels, and Joe Piscopo’s Frank Sinatra tribute. Ken draws on years of experience singing in church, school choirs, and musical theater. Clockwork has greatly expanded its repertoire to highlight Ken’s talents, reaching new audiences and keeping its current fans on their toes.
Jamie's voice shines on everything from jazz standards to top 40! Her soulful tone and style give new life to R&B classics such as "At Last". Jamie has studied extensively: she received her Master's degree in vocal performance from Boston University. She is a classically trained soprano, and now greatly extends her range of styles performing with Clockwork and with her own original band, Jamie Lynn Hart Band. Jamie shares center stage with Ken, and together they create and exciting front line for the band!
Ron: Keyboards, Lead Vocals, Band Leader, Master of Ceremonies
Ron has been orchestrating and performing at wedding receptions for over twenty years! He is a skilled keyboardist who has studied piano since he was ten years old, and has an abundance of experience playing at weddings and private functions. Although his education is in engineering, having graduated in 1986 from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, his "education" in the field of music performance has been perfected over the last 25 years in bands such as "New Life", "Dazzle", and "Clockwork", which he formed with Mary in 1989. Ron's true gift, though, is his ability to take complete control of each event by making sure everything runs smoothly from the first phone call until the last dance!

Kevin: Bass
It's the bass guitar that gives a band its rock-solid edge and entices you out of your seat to dance, and Kevin’s playing gives plenty of that! Kevin pursued his education at B.I.T. (Musicians Institute) in California, where he gained a greater understanding of music as well as adding the styles of Latin, Jazz, and Funk to his Rock based playing. Kevin has played with many local and international musicians including Herb Reed and The Platters, Joe Merrick, The Peach Eaters, and many others. He is equally at home in musical theatre, having performed in productions of Grease, Hair, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and many others.
Another wealth of talent, Joe brings countless years of experience to the band. A native of Boston's South Shore, Joe has been drumming since the age of 8, after which he went on to receive training in voice and piano. Following his attendance at the Berklee College of Music, he studied jazz piano for 5 years. Joe now instructs more than 50 private students, in addition to teaching music in the Abington Public Schools. As a singer/songwriter, Joe has recorded several CDs of his own material in his own studio; in 1993, Billboard Magazine awarded him a Certificate of Achievement for Songwriting.
