CLINT BLACK

Clint Black announces the first part of the 2024 Killin’ Time – The 35th Anniversary World Tour where he will be performing his triple-platinum debut album—a collection Rolling Stone named one of the most important albums in Country music history—live from start to finish for the first time ever in concert.

It is one of the most storied careers in modern music. Clint Black surged to superstardom as part of the fabled Class of '89, reaching #1 with five consecutive singles from his triple-platinum debut, Killin' Time. He followed that with the triple-platinum Put Yourself in My Shoes, and then a string of platinum and gold albums throughout the '90s. Perhaps most impressively, Clint wrote or co-wrote every one of his more than three dozen chart hits, including "A Better Man," "Where Are You Now," "When My Ship Comes In," "A Good Run of Bad Luck," "Summer's Comin'," "Like the Rain" and "Nothin' But the Taillights," part of a catalog that produced 22 #1 singles and made him one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era. Along the way, Clint has sold over 20 million records, earned more than a dozen gold and platinum awards in the U.S. and Canada, landed nearly two dozen major awards and nominations, including more than a dozen GRAMMY nominations.

Jake Matthew is a singer-songwriter living in Nashville, Tennessee. He wrote and performed his first song as a mere second grader. Then he took four years off from music before beginning guitar lessons at age ten. Jake hit the talent show stage again at thirteen playing Sweet Home Alabama. His formative musical influences were Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, CCR, Nickelback and Billy Joel, among others. His first regular singing gig was in his car - after obtaining his driver’s license.

A multi-sport athlete in high school, Jake attended the University of Maine as a defensive end on the football team, before transferring to the University of Florida where he threw the javelin. Summers during college were spent working and tending horses, and singing for friends on the weekend. Jake was hopeful of someday becoming an Olympian in the javelin, but a torn rotator cuff ended that dream. As his side passion for music grew, people started asking him to play and sing. As a senior finishing up a degree in building construction, Jake decided to propose to his girlfriend. With $1,400 in his savings account, he enlisted the help of a local jeweler to fashion a diamond engagement ring. However, fate intervened when, in the middle of a dinner date, the potential fiancé broke off the relationship. So, Jake did what most forlorn men do. He took that diamond ring money and purchased a brand-new Gibson guitar. Then he packed all his earthly possessions into a small SUV and headed nine hours north to pursue his musical dreams in Nashville.

Jake found work with a construction firm, and after long days in the field he would drive into the Tennessee hills to work on his songwriting, or he would try to make the cut at bars and honky tonks on open mic nights. Realizing that working six days a week in construction left him little time and energy to write and perform, Jake left that job and started driving for a rideshare business. Since that barely paid the bills, he soon found himself staring at an eviction notice for unpaid rent. He considered purchasing a small camper shell for his pickup truck and making the truck bed his home until he got back on solid ground.
Fortunately, word of his work started to spread, and he began finding consistent jobs singing and playing in downtown Nashville. Jake’s performing talents and songwriting abilities were quickly noticed by people in the industry which led to commercial and film recordings, and live performances spanning from Nashville to America's east and west coast, Canada, and all parts between.

Jake likes chips and guacamole, steak, and beer, and he loves America and Jesus.
