In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Singer-songwriter born in Bristol TN, raised in Cincinnati OH, fell in love with Grandpa's guitar and that is how the Clark Jenkins story began. Heavily influenced by my musically talented Uncle,Mom, sisters and childhood friend Eric Diedrichs.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Freddy Jones Band, The Freddy Jones Band Sammy Hagar, Standing Hampton U2, The Joshua Tree Remastered I learned how to play guitar mimicking the tracks/chords from Sammy's Standing Hampton. I fell in love with songwriting with Joshua Tree. The Freddy Jones Band (Original Members Only) have been the soundtrack of my life.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Tell Me” Tell Me was our first hit as a band. It's a fun easy song about a relationship that's getting awey. We still love playing it today.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Opening up for The Guess Who in front of 8,000 people. We were not expecting a large crowd at all and we were blown away by the audience.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Play SXSW, tour the west coast, travel abroad playing solo or with the band.
