ASI Events Presents The Clarks in Free Concert April 6

SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Events presents the band The Clarks as the UU Hour entertainment on Thursday, April 6 from 11 a.m. – noon in the University Union Plaza. The show is free and open to the public.

The Clarks is committed to the simple yet lofty goal of entertaining people and having a great time doing it. The , Pennsylvania band has often been called one of rock and roll’s best kept secrets. The quartet formed the band as students at Indiana University in Pennsylvania. The band has released 12 albums spanning the last 20 years.

“It’s pretty impressive for a band to stay together all these years,” said Monique Singh, student supervisor of weekly entertainment. “Besides producing great music, you can tell the band members love what they do. Live shows are what really makes the band stand out.”

Some of the group’s most popular songs from the late 1990s, “Penny on the Floor,” “Cigarette” and “Mercury,” still receive frequent radio play today. The Clarks saw their greatest success with “Let It Go,” released in 2000. The album outsold many major national releases n the Pittsburgh area and generated three huge radio hits, “Born Too Late,” “Better Off Without You” and “Snowman.”

Although primarily a Pittsburgh regional band, The Clarks play an average of 150 live shows each year. The band has performed nationally with John Mayer, O.A.R., Gavin DeGraw, Marc Broussard and Citizen Cope.
