FALL FUNFEST Dobbins has sung with the best Singer, songwriter and entertainer Clarence Dobbins has a unique and powerful voice that sets him aside in a style of its own with such greats as Otis Redding, Sam Cook and Al Green. Dobbins still lives in Nashville, where he continues to breathe life into every event he plays, just as he has done for the past 30 years. When you think of entertainment with style, class and energy to keep your guests on the dance floor, “The Clarence Dobbins Revue” is always at the top of the list. The band is comprised of fluent musicians who have played for such artists as Al Green, Ray Charles, Pattie La
Belle and James Brown. Upon his discharge from the U.S. Marine corps Dobbins became the opening act for local artist Freddy Waters, where he performed at the Nashville hot spot The Bamboo Lounge. In mid-80s, he joined a local big band called the Kadillacs out of Franklin. As the lead male vocalist of the Kadillacs he was given opportunities to share his talent with some of the top names in the business — artists such as Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Doug Stone and Stevie Nicks. In 2000, Dobbins formed his own band “The Clarence Dobbins Revue.”
