Clark, Worsham team up for tour
Saturday, February 11, 2017 – Brandy Clark and Charlie Worsham will join for more than 20 tour dates this spring.
The tour hits the road together beginning on April 6 in Charlottesville, Va. with stops in Washington, D.C., Austin and Nashville.
Clark, who has gained much acclaim as a songwriter, made her major label debut last year with "Big Day in a Small Town," while Worsham will release his sophomore effort, "Beginning of Things," later this year.
"Worsham is one of my favorite singers, songwriters and musicians. I absolutely love his new record and where his heart is musically," said Clark. "I can't wait to share the stage with him."
"Brandy is everything I love about country music. She speaks her truth, and she breaks new ground with every song she writes," said Worsham, a Mississippi native. "She's beloved by the Nashville community, and each time she and I have collaborated, it's been a blast. This tour is going to be so much fun, and I know the fans who fill up the venue each night will bring with them the same deep love for music that we have as artists."

Your Life is a Record
Whenever Brandy Clark's "Your Life is a Record" is described as the work of a smart, female singer/songwriter - an inevitable characterization - you may immediately picture 11 sophisticated pop songs. And make no mistake about it; this music is sophisticated - sophisticated enough, in fact, to attract pop songwriter extraordinaire Randy Newman for a duet on "Bigger Boat."

John Paul White opined with a glint in his eyes that his songs were not of the uplifting variety. In fact, they were downright dark. How else to explain "The Long Way" with the line "long way home back to you." Or "James," a song inspired by his grandfather who suffered from dementia.
