Brandi Carlile), Best American Roots Song (“Dear Insecurity”), Best Country Song (“Buried”), Best Country Solo Performance (“Buried”) and Best Musical Theater Album (Shucked).
Produced by 9x Grammy-winner Brandi Carlile, the album features Clark's most personal songwriting to date and landed on several "Best of 2023 So Far" lists including the Los Angeles Times, The Tennessean and Variety, who praises, “one of the year’s best...further clarifies that she’s one of America’s treasures,” while Forbes calls the album “an Americana Masterpiece” and Billboard declares, "Clark continues to convey her inexorable talents as both a song-crafter and vocal interpreter."
About Hayes Carll

Singer and songwriter Hayes Carll is an artist whose rootsy sound finds room for the playful swagger of rock & roll, the relatable storytelling of country, and the thoughtful introspection of folk. Capable of singing about boozy debauchery and relationships in the balance with equal skill, Carll rose through the ranks of the Americana community after emerging on the scene in the early 2000s, making his breakthrough as an independent artist and maintaining a regular guy's outlook even as he found a sizable audience. 2005's self-released Little Rock was a commercial and critical breakthrough, 2011's KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) and 2016's Lovers and Leavers were widely acclaimed as among his finest work, and 2021's You Get It All found him embracing a purer country influence.
Born Joshua Hayes Carll in Houston on January 9, 1976, the singer/songwriter received his first guitar at the age of 15 and almost immediately began writing songs influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, and the Beat-era writings of Jack Kerouac, all of which continued to reverberate in Carll's mature songwriting style. After graduating in 1998 with a history degree from Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, Carll returned to Texas, settling in Crystal Beach, where he played his own material in the local bars. After a stay in Austin, he returned home and continued to play gigs in the Galveston and Houston area, picking up a loyal following.
