Biographie de Terri Clark

Canadian country artist, Terri Clark (born August 5th, 1968) came storming out of her native land to find success in the North American country charts with her rootsy, honky tonk country.

Born in Montreal, Canada, yet raised in Alberta, CLark grew up amongst a musical family, with her grandparents being former country stars, Ray and Betty Gauthier. Learning through her family's musical tradition, Clark sought to pursue a career of her own, moving to Nashville, US in 1987.

After waltzing in to Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, a Nashville venue, Clark asked if she could sing, immediately impressing the management and landing herself a job as the club house's singer. Despite gaining this position, Clark struggled to break into the music industry for several years but eventually landed a recording contract with Mercury Records in 1994.

Her eponymous debut arrived the following year, finding hits right from the outset. The singles "Better Things to Do," "When Boy Meets Girl" and "If I Were You" all broke into the Top Ten, as well as being certified Gold. A support slot for George Strait also helped raise her profile, eventually finding herself nominated for a host of awards at the Academy of Country Music's annual ceremony in 1996. She walked away with awards for 'Album of the Year' and 'Single of the Year,' as well as Billboard Magazine's 'Top New Female Country Artist' award.

Clark's second record, "Just The Same," appeared later in 1996, featuring the hit single, "Poor Poor Pitiful Me." After two more successful albums, Clark released her greatest hits album, celebrating her ten years in the music industry. Following personal difficulties, Clark left Mercury Records, instead deciding to form her own label, Bare Tracks.

"Long Way Home" appeared in 2009, alongside the live DVD, "Live at Cedar Creek" released a year later. In 2011, Clark again moved labels, to the independent Humphead, for her eight record, "Roots and Wings." Next, she recorded an album of duets, "Classic" in 2012, featuring Reba McEntire, Jann Arden and Tanya Tucker amongst others. Again releasing records on her own imprint, her tenth record, "Some Songs," hit the shelves in 2014, finding success on country radio stations.

Canadian Terri Clark is one of the hit makers amongst the country and western music scene. Today I’m going to be discussing one of her more intimate performances where she accompanies herself on an acoustic guitar. She explains before that she is going to take this sold out audience on a journey back to the beginning before she had a guitar. If there is anything this woman can do then it is definitely perform. She has some fantastic chops and some great hooks up her sleeve. “Mama He’s Crazy” is a stunning down tempo song that shows off her stunning voice, with her humble vibrato. It is one of those moments between the artist and the audience where everyone is aware that it’s quite a ‘pinch yourself’ moment. She rounds off this short acoustic set with the mid tempo, “Girls Night Out” which just makes everyone want to do their best hoe down, with one hand in the air. Great vibe this evening.

Ricky Lee Skaggs…bluegrass roots, southern charm and artistic style. The singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist has been making music for much longer than I’ve even been alive, and has received accolade and recognition of the highest honor, and has worked with people across a number of genres. He is well respected as an artist by many of his fans, as well as his peers.
When he takes the stage, he is extremely polite, and most definitely brings the Southern charm wherever he goes. He gets onto stage, mandolin wrapped around him ready for what’s to come, and a giant smile on his face, both of which remain with him until the end of the show. As he plays, you can see how happy it makes him, no matter where he could have been at any given moment. In between songs he is always having a conversation with the audience, not just talking at them. He will always say thank you, and for almost every song he introduced the name of it, as well as a little about the process behind writing it. Whether you like bluegrass or not, watching his live set is a learning experience, both musically and of the human condition.
