With the tour spanning from Sept. 9 through Dec. 3, the Denver-based ensemble is excited to bring Clarke along with the rest of the crew: Dave Watts, Joey Porter, Garrett Sayers, Ryan Jalbert, and Drew Sayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for The Motet, the band formed over two decades ago, blending funk, rock, soul, and jazz into their extensive discography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming off the release of their tenth studio album All Day<\/em> in January, the band continues to find new, innovative ways to expand their music horizon. Additionally, The Motet believes the upcoming tour and the incorporation of Clarke into the group will make for more excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musically, we [The Motet] are a great fit, I feel pushed to perform at the top of my game because I know they are going to bring it every night. Interpersonally, we gel wonderfully and it\u2019s been a true pleasure to get to know them.”<\/p>\n– Sarah Clarke<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Performing six headlining slots at Red Rocks, sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Bottlerock, Electric Forest, and countless sell-out shows<\/a>, the group ensures that their upcoming Fall tour will be yet another amazing experience for fans and the ensemble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
