The C Minuses

The C Minuses at BurnDown Denver, CO October 16, 2026 The C Minuses are a four-piece cover band from Denver, CO made up of musicians who take the songs seriously - themselves, less so. Featuring current and former members of Float Like a Buffalo and Octopus Tree, the band delivers high-energy performances that span generations, genres, and occasionally good judgment. Pulling from a deep catalog that runs from Johnny Cash and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy, The C Minuses blend country, blues, classic rock, and Top 40 into a set that feels familiar, fun, and just unpredictable enough. Every song gets a fresh spin, whether it’s a stripped-down ballad or a full-tilt sing-along. The band is made up of Cory Pearman (rhythm guitar, vocals), Phil Pleckham (drums, vocals), Jason Clukies (bass, vocals), and Nick Valdez (lead guitar, vocals). Tight musicianship, stacked vocals, and genuine on-stage chemistry keep crowds locked in from the first chord to last call. If you’re looking for a band that plays songs you love, exactly well enough - and has a really good time doing it - The C Minuses deliver. Practiced responsibly.
