Kerry Clark’s music is like a Norman Rockwell painting. Familiar. Simple. Touching. Smile-provoking. His lyrics are a tender depiction of the human experience, and his melodies encapsulate a world of emotion in a snapshot moment. He sings his tribute to innocence and also provides a timely reminder of the way back
From ballads to anthems to clarion calls, his songs tell tales from the every day human experience. Sometimes ordinary. Sometimes extraordinary. Always uplifting. They are a slice of life, so full of life. If his songs were Rockwell paintings, they would show a porch light left on in the dark. A finger pointing up. A view of the chaos in our world, and a vision of what’s behind the veil.
For those who appreciate the willingness to risk having a voice, Kerry’s comes like the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. Comforting and calming. A celebration of hope, of light, of family, of community, of a place called home.
Kerry Clark’s musical journey began in Fifth grade when his mother bought his father a guitar as an anniversary gift. “My dad taught me the 5 chords he knew”, Clark says smiling with fond memories. “I learned the songs of the singer songwriters that moved me - John Denver, Harry Chapin, James Taylor.” Kerry learned and sang those songs until the song in his head sang louder than those on the radio.
Kerry released his first project- a record! - in 1985. He sold all 1,000 copies that year. One of those records made it’s way to the offices of The New Christy Minstrels. Clark toured with the Christy’s in 1985. He followed that project with A Simple Man, 1994; Build A Bridge, 1996; Choose Love, 2000; 911…Songs To Heal A Nation, 2001.
