The Clark Brothers - This Little Light Of Mine



About The Clark Brothers
We learned to play music in churches and at bluegrass festivals. Our dad is a traveling evangelist. He taught us all to play by ear.

We grew up traveling with our family. The three of us (Adam, Ashley and Austin) ended up in Nashville working for various country artists. We saw a commercial looking for "The Next Great American Band." We made a video of us jamming in Austin's basement, and called ourselves "The Clark Brothers." We mailed our entry the last day of the deadline! We got a phone call a week later.

The producers asked us to come play in Atlanta, and from there we made the cut to Las Vegas. With no drummer or bass player we thought we would be out the first round, but they liked us well enough to send us to California to start taping the show. We decided to take a leap of faith, quit our jobs in Nashville and give it everything we had. Every week we kept making it through.

We just took the songs they gave us and made them our own. We never imagined we would win the whole thing! We are still in shock. It's just been one miracle after another. We have always wanted to make a record that comes from our heart.

We are blessed to be in a band with each other making our music. We love people and we are so thankful for every one who helped us and voted for us.

I'm sold. These guys are great. I love bluegrass, and we just don't see enough of up here near Chicago. I'll look for the Clark Brothers to see if they are coming our way.

I first heard "Jesus on the Mainline" in a folk blues style at a concert by Christian rocker Glenn Kaiser in a tiny, dusty room upstairs in downtown Wheaton, IL.

I have been posting Amazing Grace videos on my personal blog, trying to show the range. Even Aerosmith's Steven Tyler gives in a shot (Victor Wooten and Tommy Emmanual gives the best versions so far)
