Brandy Clark: The Art Of The Storyteller

A Grammy, CMA and Americana Award-winner, Brandy Clark is one of her generation’s most esteemed songwriters and musicians. Most recently, Clark performed “Trailblazer (Dream Chaser Version)” at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards alongside Reba McEntire and Lukas Nelson. “Trailblazer (Dream Chaser Version)” is a reimagined version of the original, Grammy-nominated song, “Trailblazer,” which Clark wrote with Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert and reworked specially for the Grammy In Memoriam performance.

Among her many accolades, Clark won Best Americana Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards and Song of the Year at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards for “Dear Insecurity” featuring 11x Grammy-winner Brandi Carlile. The track is from Clark's self-titled album, which was produced by Carlile and features her most personal songwriting to date. Released to overwhelming praise, Forbes calls the record “an Americana Masterpiece,” while Variety proclaims it “further clarifies that she’s one of America’s treasures” and Billboard declares, “Clark continues to convey her inexorable talents as both a song-crafter and vocal interpreter.”

In addition to her work as a solo artist, Clark has written songs such as “A Beautiful Noise,” the Grammy-nominated duet performed by Brandi Carlile and Alicia Keys, Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow,” and Miranda Lambert's “Mama's Broken Heart.” She also composed the music for the hit musical comedy, Shucked, alongside her longtime collaborator, Shane McAnally. With the show, Clark won Outstanding Music at the 67th Drama Desk Awards and was nominated for Best Original Score at the 76th Tony Awards, with Shucked receiving nine Tony nominations overall. Clark is set to tour throughout the spring, including select stops as part of her “Art of the Storyteller” series, where she engages in intimate conversations with some of the most acclaimed and inspiring storytellers of our time.
