Crafting Texas Tradition: How Clements Guitars Thrives in Bryan’s Rich Musical Heritage

Sep 22, 2024 | News

At Clements Guitars, we believe that every guitar tells a story, and each instrument we craft embodies the heritage of Texas craftsmanship. Our roots run deep in the heart of Bryan, Texas—a town known for its rich musical history, proud Aggie alumni, and vibrant support for local artisans.

Musical Heritage Created in Bryan

Bryan, Texas, has long been a breeding ground for musical talent. Legendary artists like Grady Gaines, the iconic saxophonist who played with Little Richard and Sam Cooke, were born right here. Alongside them, Texas A&M alumni like Roger Creager and Granger Smith, both proud Aggies, launched their careers from this very community. Picturede above, we were elated to share our guitars with talents such as the Oak Ridge Boys and The Gatlin Brothers! Their journeys, rooted in the heart of Texas, embody the story that we strive to tell in every Clements guitar.

Proud Aggie Tradition

As proud members of the Aggie Network, we carry with us the values of Texas A&M University—integrity, excellence, leadership, loyalty, respect, and selfless service. These principles have helped to guide our craftsmanship. The community that Texas A&M fosters is one that celebrates tradition and history, making it the perfect place for Clements Guitars to thrive.

Owning a Clements guitar is more than just purchasing an instrument—it’s about connecting with the spirit of Texas and continuing the legacy of craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. 

Supporting Local in Downtown Bryan

At Clements Guitars, we are dedicated to being an integral part of Bryan’s vibrant community. A shining example of this commitment is Destination Bryan’s First Fridays, where local artisans, musicians, and businesses come together to celebrate our city’s culture. 

We also support the Stella Sessions at the Stella Hotel, hosted by Kyle Hutton of Real Life Real Music, which offers exclusive access to intimate listening rooms and personal concerts featuring well-known artists. These events allow attendees to connect with musicians and hear the stories behind their songs, fostering a deeper appreciation for local talent. 

The Bryan community has welcomed us with open arms, and we’re proud to contribute to the local economy and culture with guitars that resonate with these values.

Bryan, Texas, is more than just the home of Clements Guitars—it’s a place where Texas music is born, where the Aggie spirit thrives, and where local craftsmanship is celebrated.
