T. D. Clark
T. D. Clark is a genuine artist who erases musical borders to create a genre unique to instrumental as well as vocal music. Clark''s emotional guitar playing is the key that unlocks the passion behind each chord and riff, making his music universal to all ears.
Born in Chicago, Clark has been immersed in music since he was a child. His Grandfather played guitar and piano, his uncle who was (and still is) an accomplished pianist that graduated from Chicago''s conservatory of music. Even Clark''s mother played a bit of guitar. All of these factored in Clark''s exposure to a lot of music early on. " My mom had records from the Beatles to Alice Cooper to The Who to John Denver playing all the time, and my uncle loved Elton John, Styx, and all kinds of classical music. So whenever I write songs whether they be instrumental or vocal I think of what made all those artists great, and that is strong melody." He originally wanted to play piano but due to costs picked up his mother''s guitar. He began learning from books and figuring songs out by ear and eventually began studying music theory at high school and then college.
As Clark began recording his first solo effort in late 1994, tragedy struck. His second and third fingers on his left (fretting hand) were crushed in a work related accident, completely immobilizing them. Playing guitar again seemed uncertain, but Clark was determined more than ever and continued writing songs with his first and fourth fingers while rehabbing his damaged fingers for many months.
To date Clark has played hundreds of shows all over the U.S. as well as in England and Spain and Portugal. He was found by famed attorney Stevens Weiss (Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Bad Co.) and subsequently became the support act for the 1996 Ted Nugent/Bad Co. playing 25 shows all over the U.S. He has also performed with Stephen Pearcy (Ratt), Michael Schenker Group, Blue Oyster Cult,Kings X, Lynch Mob, Pat Travers, Michael Angelo, Bill Dickens, Dave Uhrich, Tony MacAlpine, Rick Wills (Bass player for Foreigner, Bad Co., Peter Frampton) Gary Hoey Chris Duarte'', and Eric Gales.

D. performed at the Jim Dunlop/Dean Markley/Nady showcase party at summer NAMM as well as the Nady booth. In 1999 Clark invaded the famous L.A. strip for shows at the Whiskey a Go Go, The Key Club, and the Coconut Teazer wowing the crowds with his fiery guitar playing and wild stage antics. In 2000 T.D. attended the Grammy awards and subsequent Universal Music Party with members of Smash mouth, Sting, Lionel Richie, Howard Stern, Lisa Marie Presley, David Spade, as well as a host of other dignitaries. He was also chosen as the house Latin guitarist for the Copacubana, the number one Latin restaurant in the Chicago area as chosen by the Chicago Tribune. 2001 opened with a bang! Not only did Clark release his new CD "PERSPECTIVE" but played to a packed House Of Blues and Hard Rock Café Chicago with fellow guitarists Michael Angelo and Dave Uhrich.
