About Bobby Clark

Having won the National Mandolin championship in Winfield, Kansas, the Buck White International Mandolin Championship in Kerrville, Texas, and the World Mandolin Championship in Des Moines, Iowa, Bobby can only be called a true mandolin virtuoso. Bobby began his musical career alongside another Oklahoma native, Vince Gill as a member of the Bluegrass Review. After moving to Nashville in 1983, he became a well sought after instrumentalist and worked with Vassar Clements, Larry McNeely, Peter Rowan, the Bluegrass Cardinals and spent 16 years with Mike Snider.

Bobby has recorded two solo albums and worked on other album projects with the likes of Ricky Skaggs and Vince Gill. His original music was featured for several years on TNN and CMT as the theme music for “Celebrity Outdoors” and “Southern Outdoors” and he performed on the soundtrack for the PBS special “Rachel & Andrew”, the love story of Andrew and Rachel Jackson.
