ICYMI: Ashley Clark Takes Over CMIL’s Instagram

I.R.S. Nashville recording artist Ashley Clark took over CountryMusicIsLove’s Instagram yesterday to give our readers a glimpse into his life. The “Greyhound” singer, who recently made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry, kicked off the day with a selfie from his bed, then took fans along for an Uber ride and to meetings with his agency, CAA. Check out a few of his Instagram posts below.

Clark recently released his debut EP, also titled Greyhound. The five-song EP gives listeners a taste of Clark’s upcoming full-length debut, which was produced by Mutt Lange (AC/DC, Shania Twain, Maroon 5, Muse). This marks Lange’s closest collaboration with a brand new artist since his work with Shania Twain 20 years ago.

Born in Virginia, Clark is one of 11 children. His father, a traveling Pentecostal preacher, brought the entire family on the road and each member was expected to perform as they stopped at churches, tent revivals and festivals across the South. When Ashley decided to blaze a path of his own in country music, his winning vocals and lightning-fast fiddle playing set him apart. He quickly went from sleeping on the floor of a stranger’s house in Nashville to touring the world with Carrie Underwood, who had just won the “American Idol” competition and was putting together a band. After two-and-a-half years on the road with Underwood, Clark came to the attention of manager Simon Fuller – XIX Entertainment (Annie Lennox, Spice Girls, David Beckham) who hooked him up producer Mutt Lange.

We’re looking forward to hearing much more from Clark!
