Growing up in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canadian country star Terri Clark, was just a little cowgirl with big dreams. In 2004, these dreams continue to come true for the talented troubadour. She moved to Nashville at 18, paid her dues playing and waitressing at the famous honky-tonk Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, and now, a little more than 10 years later, she is on a hot streak.
