Mean Carlene performing at the 2013 Festival !!!
Mean Carlene will perform at the 2012 Festival
MEAN CARLENE is a rock-n-roll cover band… plain and simple. We play music from all era’s and we have fun doing it. If you like classic rock, you’ll like us. If you like modern rock, you’ll like us. If you like rap and hip hop, you probably will not like us. MEAN CARLENE has been together for somewhere in the neighborhood of ten years and the only reason it has lasted that long is because we each truly love to play music and entertain people.
