As your local outsider, Galen Clark introduces an alternative perspective and approach to music that contains multitudes. Migratory melodies, multi-instrumental fluency, and mysterious texture all outline the stylings of the ever transplanted singer - songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. Born into an Air Force family, Clark grew up in many places with family anchors in Vermont and Colorado. At the age of 9 following many failed piano lessons, Clark’s grandparents gifted him a Harmony parlor guitar from the Shelburne flea market, sparking a journey that would span almost 2 decades of stylistic development, experimentation in a variety of bands, a degree in music production and recording technology, and a refined take on songwriting.
Sharing songs spanning the stoic mountains of Idaho’s lost river range to the ancient hum of the Shenandoah Valley, Galen draws upon energy dormant in people, time, and place. Strewn between a broader quest for understanding and rejuvenation beyond the front door, his work is a contemplative portrait of solace in nature’s ambiguity, the traverse of antiquity, observations of collective consciousness, and resolution in introspection. His most recent collaboration with Kansas City - based artist, Kirstie Lynn is a reckoning that is to be heard live and will transport you elsewhere if not in mind than in spirit.
