Piece Description
There is no mistaking the signature mandolin sound for anyone other than Oklahoma native, Bobby Clark. Having won the National Mandolin championship in Winfield, Kansas, the Buck White International Mandolin Championship in Kerrville, Texas, and the World Mandolin Championship in Des Moines, Iowa, Bobby can only be called a true mandolin virtuoso. Bobby began his musical career alongside another Oklahoma native, Vince Gill as a member of the Bluegrass Review. After moving to Nashville in 1983, he became a well sought after instrumentalist and worked with Vassar Clements, Larry McNeely, Peter Rowan, the Bluegrass Cardinals and spent 16 years with Mike Snider.
In addition to his work with Williams and Clark Expedition, Bobby has recorded two solo albums and worked on other album projects with the likes of Ricky Skaggs and Vince Gill. In addition, he has a keen ear for sound and is the owner of Top Dog Recording and Sound in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
