About the Clappers
World's Finest Purveyors of Tennessee Mountain-Rock
Straight from the hills of Cox County, the Clappers, led by COUSIN MATTY (Matt Rhoden, also of Acme Giants), who recruits the best musicians in the world to bring you the newest and finest musical genre--MOUNTAIN ROCK. Mountain Rock is a blend of country, bluegrass, techno and 80s hard rock. You will find no better example of Mountain Rock than the Cox County Clappers' latest single, "Government Man."
​
Started in 2021, the Clappers created their first recordings with Grammy-winning producer, Johnnie Truesdale, and Nashville all-star musicians Reggie Las Vegas (drums) and Pat Meusel (bass), Kirstie Lee (vocals). They've continued recruiting more star musicians, such as violinist, Rebecca Weiner-Tompkins (known for her work with Patti Smith) and singer, Leigh Hetherington (known for her solo records and as Maureen in the Los-Angelas production of Rent).
