Terri Clark
Rams Head on Stage

Annapolis, Maryland

Roots & Wings Unplugged Tour
Saturday, March 10
8pm
$35

Artist's Website: www.terriclark.com

Why She's Worth Watching:
With more than four million albums sold and nearly a dozen Top 10 hits to her credit, Terri Clark has emerged as a singular voice on the country music landscape - driving, passionate, spirited - and every bit her own woman. A dynamic, no-holds-barred live performer - and one of the rare female country artists capable of throwing down some impressive guitar work - the Alberta, Canada native has toured with such superstars as Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, and George Strait on her way to becoming a seven-time, fan-voted Canadian Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year.
