About the Band
Who We Are
Arctic Clam is a Toledo-based rock cover band led by seasoned pros Nicole Khoury (vocals/rhythm guitar) and drummer Scott Hayes. They’re regularly joined by bass master Johannes Ronquillo, touring keyboardist Grace Mauk, and lead-guitar standout Nick Kiekenapp.
Fans can also catch the original Arctic Clam lineup — featuring guitar assassin Mick Mason and “dirty and sweet” bassist Steve Knurek — for a raw, high-energy set that blends tight musicianship with crowd-pleasing classics.
Expect big riffs, soulful vocals, and a live show built for singalongs and sweat-soaked dance floors.
“Quintessential rock, thrown in a shaker with high octane soul, a splash of one hit wonders, and whipped into an audiolicious monster that will blow your mind.”
— J. McHugh, Chicago, Illinois
