Jay Clark Band is at it again with the upcoming release, “Turning It Up.” A native of Ohio, Clark has been pursuing music for a number of years, dabbling in cover bands throughout and after college, before putting music on hold. Back in action and better than ever, Clark has put together an astonishing new record that sets the tone for 2017.
With a release in mid-December, he closes out the year on a high note, as it brings his musical endeavors and wit to life. With a calling to the stage, we are certainly glad he was lured back in. His in-depth lyricism and gorgeous songwriting flows throughout the record, in a way that is gorgeous and vibrant. The southern rock sound brings together elements of artists such as Tom Petty, with songwriting and storytelling that is placed carefully on the record.
On the 8-song release, we hear an intimate and intricate collection of songs. “Backroads,” comes in with its own flare and style, as it is chased down with pieces such as “Hometown,” and “On My Way.” From beginning to end, the release shines as it brings an intimate look into his life as a songwriter and performer. We are certainly glad that Jay Clark returned to music, because in the modern world of music, “Turning It Up,” is certainly a breath of fresh air. It’s crisp, clean and full of hooks; with intense musical passion…just as it should be.
