Clutch brings its US fall tour to Fort Wayne, IN with Slomosa and Blood Vulture. This all ages concert is general admission with standing room, and tickets start at $35. Blending blues, hard rock, funk, and heavy metal, the band is known for dynamic live shows and a strong sense of community that draws devoted supporters from city to city. Since forming in 1991, Clutch has built a worldwide following and a deep trove of underground favorites, defined by thick, fuzz-forward guitar tones, propulsive rhythms, and Neil Fallon’s gritty, unmistakable voice and evocative lyrics. Their latest release, Sunrise on Slaughter Beach, distills what fans have long celebrated while continuing the band’s steady momentum. The passionate culture surrounding the group echoes the traveling fan traditions often associated with the Grateful Dead, Rush, and the Allman Brothers.
