Pueblo Fx - Featured Artist
"Clemens Grassmann is a unique musician focusing on drums and composition. At Pueblo FX, we are proud to have him as a featured artist. Our go to engineer, David Cardona, has made this collaboration possible by utilizing a prototype of our signature pedal “Raíz”, in Clemens’ debut album “Labyrinths and Tales”, and we’re glad he did."

"I had the chance to tutor Clemens Grassman last year back in Boston during the annual IASJ meeting. He stood out for his brilliant technique, interplay and creative approach to jazz, which was a valuable add to the ensemble. I was happy to see and be a part of the development as an artist to this up-and-coming promise of jazz music. I strongly suggest this young professional drummer! You should visit www.clemensgrassman.com to learn more!"

Brooklyn based drummer and percussionist Clemens Grassmann put together this collaboration of original compositions during his studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. While exploring new territories and defining his musical journey, Clemens emerged as an original composer concatenating Jazz, Latin-, World- and Electronic music and creating a unique musical experience that invites the listener to join him and his group on an exciting trip of thrilling tales on bewildering paths.
