Originally from Fort Worth, The Rhythmators first came together as sidemen for Texas roadhouse legend Delbert McClinton. Originally known as PUMP, with fellow Texan Randy Cobb on guitar. The band’s first regular gigs were in Colorado. They were so well received that they stayed on, much to the delight of the ski towns where their brand of Texas Soul Rockin’ Blues was a hit. They based out of Colorado for more than two years, developing their own style. When the opportunity to play with national acts came, they went their separate ways settling in different parts of the country. Clifton went to North Carolina, working the east coast to Key West, Dohoney to Los Angeles, CA and Stockton back to Texas via New Orleans, but they remained in touch. After touring with national and international acts, recording for major labels and on various television and film scores, as well as being in demand session players, the three Texans have come full circle to reunite as THE RHYTHMATORS. They are currently established on the DFW music scene as an R&B group performing their original music, as well as arrangements of blues and soul classics.
