Clyde has a weekly gig in Madison at the King Club. He plays every Monday night with his Madison band, featuring his long time friend and keyboard/organ player Steve "Doc" Scaggs, and is regularly joined by local MC's, guitar players, sax players, and anyone else he meets at the shows who claims to play. When he invites them to play, they either do or chicken out, but it's always a funky good time. He has been playing there for 20+ years, well before it was called the King Club. Occasionally he is out of town playing a funk festival with Bootsy, Maceo, or Jabo, but if he's in town, he'll be on stage.
