You'd think with over two decades of "full time touring and seven successful recordings under her belt," Maine's Anni Clark would be a household name. But, that's another story. In any event, this Maine native's passion for folk music and all around strong performance have earned her a props from folk music critics and audiences alike. Check out Anni Clark's unique blend of folk, rhythm and blues, pop music and the backwoods of Maine, and you'll see why she's got a loyal following out there.

Anni Clark: Critical Acclaim

Not too long ago, Anni Clark was nominated for "Female Vocalist of the Year" in the Texas Music Awards as a result of her critically acclaimed CD Anni Clark LIVE. This CD features 15 of Anni Clark's most requested folk and folk rock songs, making it a strong fan favorite. In 2003, Anni Clark won "Female Artist of the Year" and "Folk Artist of the Year" in Jam Music Magazine's Readers' Pix Awards, followed by her release of her popular CD Big Water. Before this, Anni Clark was a two-time finalist in the New Folk Songwriters' Competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas.
