A Story Steeped in Sound
Thank you for checking out our website! Crystal Clear is a band created by 6 college students at the University of New Haven. Our main genres consist of Indie Rock, Indie Pop, with some added Pop/Punk. Even though we fall into certain genres, we try to make our sound and performances as unique as possible.

Jameson Hegger
I'm Jameson and I make music by hitting things against other things and pressing buttons on a computer. I've been a percussionist since the age of 9 and a drummer since the age of 13. My biggest influences are, Thom Green (Alt-J), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and Casey Cooper. Music is a tough choice for a career, but I feel that if I can inspire and affect at least one person, then my choice was worth it.
