The Undertone formed in Phoenix, Arizona, in early 2005, when guitarist Reggie Alvey approached keyboardist Abram Clements with a side project that he had been wanting to start up again. Reggie pulled several songs, that he had written with singer/songwriter Liz Casebolt, out from the dusty closet where they had been neatly folded, boxed and shelved away. Reggie began playing these acoustic songs that had been filed away for so long and with in moments of the first chord being struck they jumped to life again with Abram on the piano. The Duo of Clements/Alvey began feverishly writing to Reggie's older material and adding newer more complicated pieces of their own. The music was growing and evolving. In late 2005, armed with a handful of songs, they began looking to expand The Undertone sound beyond acoustic guitar and piano. It wasn't until April of 2006 before they found the addition that was needed to bring the songs and the band to the next evolutionary stage. Abram's brother Kevin Clements joined the band on drums and within minutes of the first song being played it was as if he had been in the band from the beginning. With the new addition came more growth and another evolution, newer songs, better songs, Undertone songs. In April of the same year is when the story of The Undertone gets complicated. From April 2006 to February 2008 the band continued to write and perform and search for the fourth and final member of the group. Through too many auditions and two singers they finally found that fourth member and, in the end, The Undertone traveled full circle and ended where they began. With Corrinne Goldenstein as the face and voice that makes The Undertone, the greatest band you haven't heard...
