Roy Clark

The history of country music just wouldn’t be complete without Roy Clark.  This legendary entertainer used his musical talent and winning personality to bring country into the mainstream in the 60s and 70s, with a long string of hit singles like “Yesterday, When I Was Young,” “Thank God and Greyhound,” “I Never Picked Cotton” and “Come Live With Me.”  He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in May 2009.

Clark’s versatility and universal magnetism quickly made him a household name.  He showcased his knack for comedy as well as his musical chops as co-host of the popular T.V. show “Hee Haw” -- a gig that lasted an amazing 25 years.  As a television personality, he also frequently guest hosted for Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show,” and had a recurring role on “The Beverly Hillbillies.” 

Clark’s musical prowess is legendary.  A concert favorite around the world, he was one of the first country artists to perform with an orchestra, the first to tour the Soviet Union, and among the first to headline Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden.  He was named Best Country Guitarist for several years running by the readers of Guitar Player magazine, and received three awards from the Country Music Association for Instrumentalist of the Year.  

Clark continues to wow audiences nationwide with his live performances, serving up the very best of country music with a heaping helping of wholesome humor.
