CLIFTON Clifton was born in Charleston , S.C in 1966 and moved to Charlotte in 1973. He established a love for music very early on and probably inherited his music ability from his mother. She is a great piano player and played to him as a baby.

Clifton began playing the classical guitar in the 10th grade, but it wasn't until college that his passion for playing really took off.  Influences were Alex Lifeson, David Gilmore, Tom Sholtz,  and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter to name a few. Clifton enjoys playing golf and driving his "bug" when he is not jamming. He is President of an Industrial Distributor  in Charlotte by day, and enjoys spending quality time with hislovely wife Begee.  They now have 3 sons (CB, Winston and Spencer), along with two "four legged" children. Two Boxers named Boris and Lulu. Lastly, Clifton is very excited to have joined Charity Case and plans on having great fun, with great guys, for a great cause;  "The Ace & TJ's Grin Kids!" See you at the gig.
