He won an MTV Beach House song contest with The Uninvited, traveled to Scandinavia with The Sundowners, played on Commercials, TV shows and Movies, including sessions with Andy Summer and Sheryl Crow. Sessions are nice but live performance is Clay's passion.
A friend invited Clay to help at his recording studio in Lawrence Kansas, and that three month excursion started a journey that continues until this day. First he joined Kansas City Blues Legend Lawrence Wright; then moved south to Springfield where he joined the regionally popular Don Shipps and his Titanic Blues Band. Then singer Norman Jackson and Clay formed The Pawn Shop who represented Springfield MO as their top Blues Band in Memphis International Blues Convention, two years in a row.
For the last year and a half Clay founded ToST, a Rock & Roll band based on American Roots music, open to whatever music the players feel in the moment, and focused on original songwriting and interpretations of songs the players love. This group plays constantly from Illinois, throughout Missouri, and the surrounding states. Clay and ToST played in the Czech Republic in December of 2004. They represented the Missouri Department of Economic Development for Conventions in Chicago, Las Vegas, San Antonio, and Philadelphia. Thanks to Random Tuesday, another dream recently came true as Clay was asked to join them on there Armed Forces Entertainment tours and other select dates. This is Special to Clay as this is his way of repay the favor, of there sacrifice that allows him the freedom to perform.
