About Me

We play music because it is literally all we have ever known. We learned to play in churches and at bluegrass festivals. Our dad is a traveling evangelist, and he taught us to play by ear.

We grew up traveling with our family, but the three of us ended up in Nashville working for various country artists. We saw a commercial looking for "The Next Great American Band," so we made a video of us jamming in Austin's basement, and called ourselves "The Clark Brothers." We mailed our entry the last day of the deadline! We got a phone call a week later.
The producers asked us to come play in Atlanta, and from there we made the cut to Las Vegas. With no drummer or bass player we thought we would be out the first round, but they liked us well enough to send us to California to start taping the show. We decided to take a leap of faith, quit our jobs in Nashville and give it everything we had.
We just took the songs they gave us and made them our own. We never imagined we would win the whole thing! We are still in shock. It's just been one miracle after another.
We have always wanted to make a record that comes from our heart that inspires people. We are working on our album as we speak.
We are blessed to be in a band with each other making our music. We love people and we are so thankful for everyone who helped us and voted for us.
