Mondays at Andy’s through August starting July 11th.

"Clark Sommers rings true and honest in tone. The golden color pours a solid foundation to the timber of the group." – All About Jazz.

Clark is proud to be at home in the bass chair with vocalist Kurt Elling, with whom he tours the globe bringing jazz to everyone from Istanbul to the Canary Islands. Thus far he has been privileged to play on two GRAMMY nominated recordings with the band, one of which won the GRAMMY for best vocal jazz album in 2009.
