From humble beginnings playing for tips at legendary honky-tonk bar, Orchid Lounge in Nashville, to holding the honour of being the only Canadian female member of the Grand Ole Opry, Medicine Hat’s Terri Clark has solidified her place in the history books of country music. The multi-JUNO Award winner boasts over 5 million albums sold, three RIAA Platinum and two RIAA Gold-certified albums, Canadian Gold, Platinum, Double Platinum, and Triple Platinum-certified albums, thirteen Top Ten singles including six number ones in Canada and the U.S., 19 CCMA Awards, a 2018 induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, and multiple ACM and CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Award nominations.
Clark has performed her hit singles like “Better Things To Do,” “Poor Poor Pitiful Me,” “Girls Lie Too,” “Northern Girl,” and “I Just Wanna Be Mad,” to sold out audiences on both sides of the border, headlining her own shows and touring with megastars like George Straight, Toby Keith, Brooks & Dunn, and Brad Paisley. Clark has also had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the biggest and most legendary names in music including Jann Arden, Dierks Bentley, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Reba McEntire, Johnny Reid, Dallas Smith, and Tanya Tucker.
This spring, Clark is set to hit the road again with McEntire, continuing to captivate audiences as she takes command of the iconic stages of Madison Square Garden, The Hollywood Bowl and more.
