Kara Clark
Kara Clark has been an outstanding supporter of VETS ROCK and our mission. We're honored to have Kara onboard and to have had her play at VETS ROCK events.
Kara Clark never sang, played an instrument, or wrote a note until now...Born and raised in West Virginia, she grew up, the daughter of a state trooper and grand daughter of the local sheriff with many dreams that didn't involve music. Kara established a career as a paramedic and worked hard in the local EMS and aeromedical services. She stayed busy being a flight medic but did not know her path would drastically change. It was after singing for some friends and family that everyone in her life realized she had a talent that no one, including herself, knew she had. She bought a used guitar, taught herself how to play and began writing songs. With the advice from a friend, Gail Chasin, a career musician, she packed and moved to Nashville.
She borrowed the money to meet with renowned vocal coach Renee Grant-Williams. Kara laughs now and says "I had a home made cd of 3 tracks, I was covering Martina McBride and Faith Hill, I had never been on a stage, never had a band, but I bent the truth just a little." To her surprise, Renee told her "you will stand out, you have something that people want to be taught...emotion, style, and character...that cannot be taught".
