A country-rock band formed in Mill Valley, CA, in July 1967.

The original lineup (below) made two albums for Fantasy Records in the early 1970s, after which Howie left and the group was expanded to a sextet with the addition of Huey Lewis (harmonica, vocals), Sean Hopper (keyboards, vocals) and Mickey Shine (drums).

Clover moved to England in 1976 at the request of Nick Lowe, where they made two more albums and served as the backup group on Elvis Costello's debut album, My Aim Is True.

They returned to the US in 1978 and broke up, with McFee going on to the Doobie Brothers and Lewis and Hopper forming the nucleus of Huey Lewis & The News.
