Walt McClements clearly has a restless streak, and one musical project is never enough. He has been a part of Hurray for the Riff Raff, and he put Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship? on hiatus and left the Panorama Jazz Band to join Minneapolis' Dark Dark Dark.

"Schizophrenic" is too strong a word, but Walt McClements has feet in two different worlds. He leads Why Are We Leading Such a Big Ship? and plays in the Panorama Jazz Band in New Orleans while performing with Minneapolis' Dark Dark Dark as a sideman.
