About Electric Hero
Electric Hero is the nom de plume of bass player and producer, Chris Clarke; erstwhile Holy Roader (Indie Legend Peter Astor’s ‘90’s outfit), Rockingbird (North London country-rockers), Lost Son of Littlefield (Cult Country outlaws) and Champion of the World (multi award-winning
Americana).
He is a long-time member of London’s finest bluegrass band, Foghorn Leghorn and has run their club at The Betsey Trotwood for the past 12 years.
For over 30 years, Clarke has played bass, engineered and produced hundreds of other peoples’ records; mainly in his very own ‘North London Stax’ recording studio: Reservoir Studios. After being the driving force behind Danny and the Champions of the World for the past ten years, he decided to cut loose and make his own solo album.
With the intention of a fresh start he assembled a group of younger musicians to come along for the ride including his nephew, Elliott on drums and guitar maestro Jamie Alex Pope with Celina Liesegang and Steve Huddleston on backing vocal duty. Holed up at Reservoir Studios, Clarke set to realising the sounds in his head
and wearing his influences on his sleeve!
