The Miami Dolphins today announced that one of the most well respected musicians in the pop/rock arena, CLARENCE CLEMONS and his band THE TEMPLE OF SOUL, will perform at the Land Shark Tailgate Stage on the AT&T Grand Plaza at 12:30 p.m. and during halftime at next Sunday’s Dolphins-Titans game in a special tribute to veterans and the military.
Clemons boasts a career that has spanned over three decades. The famed saxophone player from the E Street Band, which some have deemed the greatest rock and roll band in the world, played for nearly 30 years alongside “The Boss”, lending his signature saxophone riffs to such classic hits as Born to Run, Jungleland and Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.
Clarence Clemons and The Red Bank Rockers had their first release in 1983 with Rescue and The Chief. His most popular and best-selling album, Hero, featured the hit single You’re a Friend of Mine where he shared the lead vocals with Jackson Browne.
In addition to his solo work and his work with the E Street Band, Clemons has contributed to the musical efforts of Aretha Franklin, Todd Rundgren, Joe Cocker, Ian Hunter, Gary U.S. Bonds, Janis Ian, Roy Orbison, Joan Armatrading and Ringo Starr’s All Star Band. With Clarence Clemons and The Temple of Soul, he brings together his vast musical experiences in gospel, rock ‘n’ roll and Latin music.
Having previously attracted artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Carmit Bachar of the Pussycat Dolls, Latin Grammy award-winning artists Jesse & Joy for Hispanic Heritage Month 2009, American Idol winner, Kris Allen, 2009 CMA Musician of the Year, Mac McAnally, multi-platinum artists Cheap Trick and others, the Land Shark Tailgate Stage on the AT&T Grand Plaza at Sun Life Stadium has become a much anticipated part of the Dolphins’ home-game experience.
