Clay Campania

Originally from Honolulu, HI, Clay Campania has been bringing his high intensity, blues favored rock, reminiscent to the likes of Cream, Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, to the stages of Austin, TX. As stated by John Berger of the Honolulu Star Bulletin, “Campania is a competent vocalist and impressive on guitar; most important, he sounds like he is singing from his heart rather than trying to be a “blues singer.” That’s an important distinction. “I’m going to play what touches me.” Play he does. From “Crossroads” and “Little Wing,” the soul of Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, to a blistering rearrangement of Robert Johnson’s “Me and the Devil,” and his own originals.
