Join the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 8, 2011 in welcoming Cory B. Clay and the Twains. This additional Music Under the Stars performance is sponsored by James O’Donnell Funeral Home and will close the Music Under the Stars 2011 summer concert series. 

Cory Brandon Clay grew up listening to a full house of timeless country music and rock ‘n’ roll singers. Hank Williams, George Jones, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, Elvis, The Rolling Stones & The Beatles spun constantly on his parents Linn LP12 turntable. After playing live music and recording professionally for 15 years, Mr. Clay decided to fuse that high and lonesome outlaw country sound of his upbringing in the Southern Midwest with the shake, rattle & hard rock of his new home in Los Angeles, CA. The result is music with twang & teeth--soulful and sincere sounds about heartache, living & dying, virtue & vice.

“I’ve been friends with Cory B. Clay for years,” says Jimmy O’Donnell. “When I asked Cory to consider playing at Music Under The Stars, he jumped at the idea. It will be fun to share The Twain’s music with Hannibal.”

Cory B. Clay & The Twains have played such distinguished Southern California venues as The Cowboy Palace Saloon, The House of Blues Sunset Strip, The Roxy, Joes Great American Bar & The Honky Tonk BBQ in Chicago, Illinois.
