LIVE MUSIC – Clay Fulton & The Lost 40 | Thesis Beer Project

Clay Fulton & the Lost 40 are back home on the Thesis Beer Project stage and bringing the fabulous JoJo Green down for the party!

Clay Fulton & The Lost Forty formed in the spring of 2021 in Rochester, MN . The band started around Clay’s first album, When Trouble Comes which had more of an Americana/ Singer-Songwriter style. After the line up was solidified the group moved into a roots rock format at the rest is history. The bands sophomore album Positive Numbers came out in the late summer of 2022 and was well received locally. The band has opened for Charlie Parr, The Big Wu, Yam Haus and Nur- D to name a few and has lots of exciting things coming in 2023. The lineup is: Clay Fulton on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Carly Hornstine on vocals, Allan Palmer on bass guitar, Mike Bentele on lead guitar, Peter Laack on keyboards and Nick Novotny on drums.

JoJo Green started as a dream collab between singer, Sharisse Germain and Bassist, Scott Yonke after their tenure with a touring tribute band. They formed in 2019 with the mission, “let’s write and play the best music of our lives” and they have since kept that promise, even years later. After playing a handful of shows in January and February of 2020, the pandemic proved to be a bit of a brake-pump, but these tenacious musicians pressed on. They wrote, recorded, and produced their debut album , “The Line” (LP 2021) in spite of it all from remote locations, practicing together having outdoor backyard jams. JoJo Green is named after Yonke’s late Brittany Spaniel, Maxine Jo Green, who was the inspiration for some of his early songwriting. We’ll give credit where credit is due, though, guitarist and music arranger, Conner Allen, had the idea to shorten the name to JoJo. In 2022, JoJo Green finished their highly-anticipated EP, “The Summer Tree” which received national and international praise for its creativity, energy, and soul.
