About Clarence Tilton
Clarence Tilton stands at the crossroads of Americana and Heartland rock, blending tube amps, telecasters, and the wide-open landscapes of Nebraska into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh.
Formed in 2014 from Omaha’s storied rock scene, Clarence Tilton is led by brothers Chris and Corey Weber, who grew up in a small town (1,000 people, 10,000 cows), learning guitar on borrowed instruments and bonding over influences like Neil Young, Son Volt, The Allman Brothers, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and James Gang. The five-piece band features co-songwriter Paul Novak (guitar, vocals), Jarron Wayne Storm (drums, vocals), and Craig Meier (bass). Their music, rooted in family legacy and small-town life, balances raw alt-country grit with rich, melodic hooks.
Clarence Tilton has released three full-length albums, Clarence Tilton (2015) and Start Already Lost (2019), and an EP, Queen of the Brawl (2025) Word Rolled In (2018)
About Lightning Stills
After twenty years of full-throttle drinking, Craig Fort had to straighten out. To help get through the rehab days of sobriety, he created an alter-ego, Lightning Stills, a rhinestone cowboy in the vein of Waylon and Johnny Paycheck. All their hardship tropes, Fort lived through. Once he started writing as Lightning Stills, the songs poured out: part catharsis, part what the hell was that? Heavy stuff, though not without toe-tapping sensibilities.
He recruited longtime bar stool neighbor, Mike Friedman, to collaborate on tracking/producing a debut EP. In the six years since, Lightning Stills has grown into a mixed bag of longtime Omaha players. A bunch of road-tested dust punks, doing whiskey-drenched tunes of fast living that, if they weren’t so hard earned, might sound cliche.
