KAI CLARK, The Son of the Byrds’ Gene Clark, in Concert
"He is his father’s son and carries on Gene’s legacy. Well done, son, well done!” CHRIS HILLMAN
FRIDAY, JULY 3RD, 7pm $22 - Elks Crystal Hall, Third Floor
117 E Gurley St, Prescott 928-756-2844
Join us on July 3rd at Elks Crystal Hall for an evening with KAI CLARK, the son of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Gene Clark (The Byrds). Tickets are $22-$32. Cash Bar. Doors open at 6pm.
Kai’s latest release is Silver Raven, an 11-song tribute album that traces his father, Gene Clark’s career in music, including Byrds-era favorites. Kai’s music is pure Americana, and combines elements of blues, country and rock, with a wide range of influences that include Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix, Taj Mahal and Keb Mo.
When you’re the son of the Byrds’ Gene Clark – a pivotal figure in the formation of three distinct sub-genres of rock music (folk/psychedelic/country) – there’s a certain expectation, spoken or unspoken, that you’ll pick up the guitar and join the family business. From an early age Kai Clark felt the pressure of such unreasonable expectations, but has always followed his own path in life, not one that had been projected on to him by anyone else. If Kai were to ever become a musician, it would happen naturally, on his own terms. When the time was right.
Presented by the Folk Sessions and Clear Channel Music
