Ken Brown, Lead Vocalist
Alabama native Ken Brown displays an incredible
range from Gospel and Soul to Hard Rock and Swing.
Although Ken earned a degree in Electrical
Engineering Technology, his vocal prowess comes from
years of experience singing in church, musical
theater, and with commercial groups. He has opened
for such acts as The O’Jays, The Temptations, Taylor
Dane, The Marcels, and Joe Piscopo’s Frank Sinatra
tribute, and has drawn comparisons to Lou Rawls,
Barry White, The Temptations’ David Ruffin, and
Lionel Richie. His 6’1” chiseled frame and low
smooth baritone voice has been known to melt the
ladies. Clockwork has greatly expanded its
repertoire to highlight Ken’s talents, reaching new
audiences and keeping its current fans on their
toes.

standards to top 40. Her soulful tone and style give

Master's degree in vocal performance which is
evident in her powerful sound. Originally trained as
a classical soprano, she now extends her range of
styles performing with Clockwork and with her own

Ron Barth, Keyboards, Vocals, Band Leader,
Master of Ceremonies
Ron has been orchestrating and performing at wedding
receptions for over twenty years! He is a skilled
keyboardist who has studied piano since he was ten
years old, and has an abundance of experience
playing at weddings and private functions. Although
his education is in engineering, having graduated in
1986 from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, his
"education" in the field of music performance has
been perfected over the last 25 years in bands such
as "New Life", "Dazzle", and "Clockwork", which he
formed in 1989. Ron's true gift, though, is his
ability to take complete control of each event by
making sure everything runs smoothly from the first
phone call until the last dance!
