Groupe
Country US formé en 1993 à Rocky Mount (Virginie) composé des 6 frères Clark :
Alan, Aaron, Adam, Ashley, Andrew et Austin.
The Clark
Family Experience hit paydirt in 2001, when their song "Meanwhile Back at the
Ranch" became the 13th best-selling single in country music. Part of the appeal
was the group's fusion of country and pop, but the fact that all six members
were brothers certainly didn't hurt. The Clark Family Experience eventually
morphed into Sons of Sylvia, a slimmed-down version of the band that released a
hit album in 2010.
The Clark Family Experience was comprised of the six eldest children of
traveling ministers Freddy and Sylvia Clark. Alan (guitar/vocals), Aaron (electric
bass/vocals), Adam (mandolin/vocals), Ashley (fiddle), Andrew (drums), and Austin (lap
slide guitar/keyboards) were born and raised in southern Virginia, where they
started performing professionally in 1993. Nearly a decade later, Curb Records
inked the Clark Family Experience a record deal. They went on to perform on
TNN's weekly special The Oak Ridge Boys: Live from Las Vegas and made multiple
appearances on Prime Time Country. Opening slots for Faith
Hill, Martina McBride, AC/DC, Charlie
Daniels, the
Dixie Chicks, and Tim
McGraw allowed the boys to grow in a live setting, as did two summers with
the George
Strait festival tour.
The Clark Family Experience gained momentum in the new millennium as Tim
McGraw joined them in the production of their first studio album. The Clark
Family Experience was released in August 2002 and became modestly successful,
with "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch" received the most accolades. The acclaim was
short-lived, though. Within a year, the boys had been dropped from their label
and plunged into bankruptcy, and it wasn't until the formation of the Clark
Brothers (which, after a name change, became Sons of Sylvia) that the Clarks
regained their status as a country stars.
