Artist History Formed as an offshoot of File Gumbo by Marc Bristol and frequent Gumbo added attraction Joel Tepp (who has toured with Bonnie Raitt, Maria Muldaur, Danny O'Keefe, Spencer Davis & more) the group is named in honor of the Legendary Clarence Blisswater, about whom little is known. The concept began evolving in the late '70s, and has culminated in the forming of this group, around 1990. Though they may appear infrequently, it's only because the guys have other bands and committments.
