Adam Hatcher

  • Guitar and lead vocals
Adam hails from Augusta, Georgia, where he has watched, worked at, and played The Masters (with a 298-yard drive on hole 10). Guitar came into this Southerner's life freshman year when he decided to bring music to his school bible study and church youth group.

Being a life-long chorus boy and having a finger-picking buff for a guitar teacher made Adam a huge fan of James Taylor, Edwin McCain, and Steven Curtis Chapman. "All three are great acoustic singer/songwriters, but JT's Greatest Hits is quite possibly the best CD ever made." Taylor's influence is noticable in several of twentyoneclear's songs, especially Can't Make Me Let You Go.

Goin' Steady, a knock off an old 60's tune, is currently Adam's favorite song that he and Jay perform. Nathan Carlson collaborated with Adam in 1995 to write the words and the song has since achieved international success.

Whether it was his Elvis impersonation in a fifth grade musical, showstopping prom with a Vanilla Ice dance two years in a row, playing with world renowned entertainer Chic Streetman in Switzerland, mastering the art of serenading (his best being seaside in the Bahamas), or singing with the Virginia Glee Club, Adam has constantly used music to entertain someone.

(Rumor has it a "record deal = Masters tickets" idea has been expressed a few times...but that's just a rumor.)


Jason Howard

  • Guitar and back-up vocals
  • Hometown: North Andover, Massachusetts
Jason, or "The J-Train," first took up music at the age of six when he began studying classical piano. He still does this today, and it is this knowledge that he used to write violin, viola and cello accompaniments for several 21C songs. Jay started playing guitar during his freshman year of high school, saying, "If Kurt Cobain can do it, anyone can!" His influences include Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Jay, a member of the orchestra pit for Andover Community Theater, can also play the saxophone, bass, drums, bongos, clarinet, pan flute, xylophone, recorder, and other minor instruments.
