Clam Chowder (the group) is a small musical group in Maryland, USA, which plays an eclectic collection of British and American folk songs, sea shanties, unusual songs from all sources, original material, and anything else that has opportunities for close harmony. The group has played in venues ranging from the Washington DC Folk Festival to the World Science Fiction Convention.

If you are looking for the musical group Clam Chowder that is based in Canada, well, you missed, although we’ll contact them for you for a 10% booking fee (just kidding...our booking fee is actually 15%)

We’ve been in semi-active mode for a number of years now. We do roughly two concerts a year. Our one on-going gig is Darkover, a fantasy convention held in Timonium, Maryland over Thanksgiving weekend.

This past year at Darkover, we collected over $5,000 at Darkover and sent that directly to Children’s Hospital in Washington, DC. Thank you, Chowderfans!

We still have hopes to produce a new CD, but we’ve also had some recent transportation setbacks. With our members spread out over two states and, in some cases, spread thin by day jobs and kids, it has proven harder to get the taping done than we first thought. When we really get rolling, we’ll let you know here.

Upcoming Gigs

November 2009 We’ve been invited to Darkover.
