Clayton Anderson is a product of his upbringing: a hard-working, salt of the earth, country singer-songwriter from the heartland. His songs and his story are woven from the cloth of his hometown and his philanthropic upbringing and desire to impact the lives of children.
In 2008, he took home the win for Kenny Chesney’s Next Big Star battle of the bands. In Anderson’s world, when you want something, you get after it, so after his big win, he moved to Nashville and threw himself into building a country music career. In 2022, Anderson showed no signs of stopping, he released and landed high-profile placements for a string of singles including “Nothin’ But Net” (produced by Grammy winner Dave Audé and as heard on ESPN for Men’s College Basketball Season), “Get After It” (Ford’s Truck Month Campaign and ESPN Mens Baseball Season, including daily promos for the College World Series), and “Show Me Your Fish” (Major League Fishing’s REDCREST 2022); he hit the road for another Summer Lake Tour; and released Made In The USA, his most introspective album yet. For the happy-go-lucky singer, the new album finds him digging deep, putting his dreams, fears, and hard-working pride on full display. Clayton is an Indiana boy who never wanted to leave his hometown but whose passion for music took him out on the road. Anderson has touched the heartland and home of his USA fans. After every USA city performance, you will find Clayton visiting children’s hospitals, schools or orphanages where he brings his guitar and sings for these children bringing them hope and laughter with his contagious smile and personality. And now, with the up-and-coming release of “The World Will Know”, Clayton goes global to impact the lives of refugee children most in need.
