The marriage of Cliff Clegg and Tammy Jackson unites the best of talent, skill and, of course, wedded bliss.

Tammy and Cliff met in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1995, where Tammy was named CMA Modern Country Female Vocalist of the Year and Cliff’s band was named CMA Band of the Year. The couple exchanged business cards and met when they returned home to discuss collaboration. This resulted in the formation of the power-packed “Tammy Jackson Band,” which was formed to highlight Tammy’s vocal and songwriting abilities and Cliff’s expertise in telecaster guitar ingenuity. Combining some of New England’s most sought after musicians, the Tammy Jackson Band took the east coast by storm, and have consistently landed some of the most coveted venues, including Meadowbrook, Riverfest the Hampton Casino ballroom and opening for headline acts such as Lorrie Morgan, Alan Jackson, Pam Tillis, Charlie Daniels Band, Redd Volkaert, Ray Price, Dick Curless, John Berry, Sammy Kershaw, Ray Price, Big & Rich …

Individually, and in recent years as a team, Tammy and Cliff have provided management, sound and booking services, as well as a forceful musical front, for several successful, high-powered, performance groups including “Gold Dust,” “CrossOver” and of course, most recently, "The Tammy Jackson Band." The couple's extensive accomplishments and achievements, as further illustrated in this site, help to define the level of proficiency this duo has attained. Cliff and Tammy write, perform, record, master and produce all of their material at their studio - Parlor Productions - located at the couple's Sunapee, New Hampshire home.

The couple was married in February 2000.

In addition to Tammy Jackson Band performances, Cliff and Tammy also perform as a duo, and as a trio with the incomparable Wayne Brewer on Pedal Steel Guitar, in an effort to promote the band, increase their availability, improve record sales and avail themselves to more opportuities to showcase the couple's original music. Performing as a duo/trio allows the couple to travel extensively, and makes them affordable to smaller but equally enjoyable and valuable venues.

The duo and trio, fronted by the guitar-wielding couple, is backed by the full sound of bass and drums, as well as piano, mandolin and other necessary instrumentation, all performed and recorded live by Cliff in the studio. The authentic sound and deep cut groove of the backing tracks (backtrax), combined with this dymamic and infinitely talented front, leave an indelible impression. Unlike most full-sound duos/trios, the backing tracks of bass and drums have been performed and recorded live in the studio. The authentic sound and deep cut groove of the backing tracks, combined with this dynamic and infinitely talented front, leave an indelible impression on their audiences. Cliff and Tammy utilize a state of the art, high performance Mackie PA system with full sound and lighting.

Getting Personal

Tammy Jackson tammy@cliffandtammy.com
Tammy’s father, Keith Fulton, also a singer/songwriter and guitarist, taught his daughter to play the guitar, and introduced her to the world of music performance at an early age. Tammy began singing at her dad’s live public performances at age 6. By age 14, Tammy was penning original tunes for presentation at public appearances of her own. Upon graduation from high school, Tammy began attending classes at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Tammy began performing publicly again as a back-up singer to her sister, Traci Jo Fulton and the renowned duo “Merrigan & Dailey.” Tammy and Traci were offered a position as the front for a newly forming country band, which they accepted – ala, The Fulton Sisters & CrossOver. After their well-received performance at Jamboree In The Hills in St. Clairesville, OH, the girl’s were offered several positions with groups based in the country music capital of Wheeling, WV. With four young children at home, Tammy was not in a position to pursue such endeavors at that time, and took over as sole lead vocalist for CrossOver. It was during her term as the front for CrossOver that Tammy ended up in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she met the handsome and talented guitarist, Cliff Clegg.

Cliff Clegg cliff@cliffandtammy.com
Cliff Clegg is one of those musicians that you experience and you can’t believe what you’re hearing. Having been raised on country music, by his guitar-pickin', country-singing Dad, Cliff Clegg, Sr., as a young teen, Cliff, Jr. worked his way in and about the Boston area club scene with counterfeit credentials and the gift of persuasive gab. In short time, bands of distinction began to seek the young guitarist, who at age 14 had already mastered his instrument and was performing everything from rock to bluegrass. Although his tenure as a full-time singer and guitarist with bands in the Boston rock circuit provided Cliff with the opportunity to make a living playing his guitar, he continued to seek a platform on which he could take part in the creation and performance of original music. It was Cliff’s participation as lead guitarist for the award-winning country group “Almost Cowboyz” that took Cliff to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was introduced to the young, aspiring singer/songwriter, Tammy Jackson.

Wayne Brewer
Wayne was born and raised in East Millinocket, Maine. He has been performing musical magic on the Pedal Steel Guitar since he was tall enough to reach the strings. His playing has been repeatedly compared to that of Buddy Emmons and Rusty Young. Wayne has traveled extensively throughout his career with a variety of national headlining acts from rockin' country's 38 Special and Poco, to country music's own Freddie Hart and Dick Curless. Never to miss a pedal steel convention, Wayne is well known in his field. Wayne and Cliff met too many years ago to reveal, and have since been connected not only musically, but as close personal friends. A recent inductee into the NH CMA Hall of Fame, Wayne has numerous awards to his credit.
