Hide From Cleo. Original, Intelligent, sometimes experimental, music from the northern climes of the USA. In the short time that they have been together, since November 2004, Hide from Cleo have been drawing on their extensive song writing and performing backgrounds to produce music that ranges from Hard Rock to R&B, crossover folk, country and blues. Members of the band have shared the stage with Kid Rock, played the House of Blues in Las Vegas and have been a big part of the Detroit Music scene for years. Think about what would happen if Janis Joplin, Jewell, Tom Waits and Joe Cocker joined the Counting Crows... That's Hide From Cleo. Sort of...

Although the band is a strident advocate of recording and playing live, letting the people hear how it really is, it is interesting to note that their first attempt at a studio demo version, "You made love a lie" reached the top ten at BroadJam.com for three weeks straight in the months of December and January 2005.

Hide From Cleo are currently receiving regular airplay on Northeastern Michigans' WKJC 104.7 FM and WQLB 103.3 FM these stations cover most of northeastern and central Michigan. These stations have proven to be stident advocates of the bands music. (for which the band is eternally grateful) The band has also been featured on WKJC's "CWJunction" a one hour show that features new music from around the entire Northeastern Michigan listening area.

Recently, Hide From Cleo was chosen, over all other entrants, by WQLB FM 103.3 (BROCK) to share the stage with GRINDER a band that featured local sports hero and Detroit Red Wing Darren McCarty. The show, scheduled for July 9th 2005 was held at the 1500 seat Northern Lights Arena in Alpena, Michigan. The band was chosen because of it's well known "local draw potential" and great live show.

The bands live shows are dynamic, like a romantic candle light date with nothing to drink but Jagermeister. Everything starts out all calm, warm, and fuzzy, but by the end of the evening someone is always swinging around from the chandelier naked... (Hide from Cleo are an official "Jagerband" and are proud of the working relationship they maintain)

Hide from Cleo's music offers something for everybody... With Live shows just as well suited to coffee houses as rock and roll bars, there always seems to be plenty of freebies flying around from Jagermeister adding to the fun. But check your teeny-bopper attitudes at the door, this is versatile music, for music lovers.
