Ms. Clamor will be backed by Fox Sports television personality and renowned author, Michael Konik's Tasty Band. Numerous Filipino fans discovered Clamor through her debut album, ”Searching for the Soul,” as well as her headlining appearances at the sold-out Filipino-American Jazz Festivals. On May 22nd, Charmaine Clamor will perform selections from her highly anticipated second album, called “Flippin' Out.” The album will be released in September.
