She was moved by the blues..

Blues driven, soul inspired, and powerful. Born and raised in Seattle Emily’s heart always called her to the mountains of Montana. Emily Clark has been a fixture on the northwest music scene for over a decade. She grew up with the musical influences of Susan Tedeschi, the Allman Brothers and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Emily honed her chops with Montana bands Cannonball and 20 Grand, and expanded her abilities while living in Denver, CO sharing the stage with Sam Bush, Cyril Neville, Jeff Austin, Billy Strings, Ike Stubblefield, Bernie Worrell, Robert Randolph, and countless others. She has also performed with members of The Infamous Stringdusters, The Motet and Fruition, and has been a producer for several music festivals and initiatives. With a heart full of grit and honesty and a voice brimming with vibrato, Emily is on the cusp of releasing her first album Threadbare due summer of 2022, featuring Emily's original songs alongside collaborations with Jack Pelletier, Michelle Sarah, Tanya Shylock and Andy Hall. Stacked with soulful grooves and fat horn lines Threadbare is an ode to love, loss and truth, and serves as a testament to everything Emily embodies in her identity as a musician, singer, and songwriter.

  • Todd Smallie

    BASS

    Todd Smallie’s career began in Atlanta during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. During this era, Atlanta was a musical hotbed for bands of all flavors, but especially for those that would later be recognized as the forefathers of the jam band scene. It was members of Col. Bruce Hampton’s group, the Aquarium Rescue Unit, who noticed Todd’s musical talents and connected him with a young guitar prodigy named Derek Trucks. The teenaged Trucks formed the Derek Trucks Band, featuring Todd at the bass chair. The Derek Trucks Band continued their sonic exploration and released “Already Free” in 2009, which would garner a Grammy award Best Contemporary Blues Album. The band released “Road songs” in 2010, after which the group separated to pursue other opportunities. Taking a break for only a few months, Todd next joined forces with JJ Grey and Mofro and is currently still playing with them.

    Todd Smallie plays with Emily Clark when she asks nicely.
