Oh Clementine! Family Folk Band
Oh Clementine is a family-inspired folk band that brings together a deep love for music and lyrics that speak to the small and big moments of walking life together. Their music is an embodiment of joy and a gentle, tender holding space of quieter moments. The music played will have you and your child foot stomping, clapping and humming the songs all day and into those sometimes sleepless nights.
