Artist History Cloning Einstein's smooth, contemporary pop sound originated in the middle-class suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band grew up together, so their amazing chemistry is just the natural result of having the time to grow and develop together. Cloning Einstein is not just a band, they're like a family. Right from the start, Cloning Einstein wrote, recorded, sent out demos, and played the clubs and college campuses of Philly, New York, and New Jersey, always pursuing that most elusive of all musicians' dreams, the major label record contract. From world-class producers to big-time promoters to major label record execs, everyone promised the stars, but no one could quite deliver that magical deal. Before CE made this record, the Internet didn't exist as it does now, as a part of everyone's daily lives. The band chose to release this record with online label Invention Music Group because it's the best way to get their music to the people and make a difference doing it.

Group Members Jeff James Beck: vocals, keyboards, percussion; Joe Black: guitars, vocals; Tom Schied: vocals; Joe Dougherty: bass; Colin Diemer: drums, percussion

Instruments vocals, acoustic guitars, drums and percussion, bass, piano, keyboards and orchestration
