William Clark Green

With two critically esteemed album releases already under his belt, William Clark
Green is back and this time it is getting personal. Give Green a pen and paper
and he is a lyrical force to be reckoned with. On his critically acclaimed third
release, Rose Queen, he puts it all on the line and makes absolutely no apologies.
“Songwriting is reality. People are scared to put reality on paper, but this is 10
times more reality than my past work,” he explains bluntly. The past few years
have been consumed with Green touring heavily in the booming Texas scene and
persistently writing a plethora of songs that are pulled from true to life
experiences. Green has adamantly pushed his boundaries as a writer revealing,
“Songwriting is exactly what is in your heart, in my opinion, it is not about
writing a hit. It is about revealing your heart and your feelings on the paper.”
The music on Rose Queen ranges from the familiar Cajun flare he is known for on
"Let's Go" to the highly reflective and introspective "Welcome to the Family." In
the candidly honest lead single, "It's About Time," Will tackles the harsh reality
that a significant relationship must end. He explains, “I think the new record will
connect with a certain demographic of people who have been effected by
something in their lives and therefore can identify with my stories.”
Not only has Green raised the bar with his seasoned writing and musicianship, he
also enlisted a team of powerhouses to mold his full package of artistry. Music
industry veteran Rachel Loy was recruited to undertake producing the new
record. Green declares, “I was sold on her in just 30 minutes. She installs
confidence and challenges me to be better.” Also, in the last year he signed with
new management, 415 Entertainment, as well as landed a booking deal with
Nashville’s Paradigm Agency. For the first time, Green embraced the nature of
co-writing and included 4 tracks of co-writes on the new album.
William Clark Green is definitely no stranger to the music scene; he knew at the
ripe age of 13 that he would embrace his passion and work vigorously in order to
make a name for himself. As a 7th grader with substantial ambition, he began
receiving guitar lessons and spending free time with his cousin writing music and
bouncing ideas off of one another. Green draws inspiration from his personal
musical hero Willis Allan Ramsey, as well as his father who Green has fond
memories of with a guitar in hand.
While attending college at Texas Tech University, Green played for a live
audience whenever he could and steadily gained notoriety on the Texas music
scene. He credits the Blue Light in Lubbock as his unofficial home, where he
spent many nights honing on his craft and gaining a loyal army of followers.
Rose Queen has already marked a number of milestones for the young storyteller.
The debut single, “It’s About Time”, was welcomed at radio with open arms and
earned William’s first Top Ten song on Texas Radio. The momentum did not
stop there as his follow up single, “She Likes The Beatles,” recently scored the #1
position on both the Texas Music Chart (TMC) and the Texas Regional Radio
Report (TRRR) in seemingly the blink of an eye. At this rate, the sky is the limit
as everyone waits to see what William Clark Green has up his sleeve next. The
full album released on April 30, 2013. For more information on William Clark
